		The film is notable among the many Swing Era musicals because its plot is more serious and realistic than the insubstantial story lines that were typical of the genre.
		Orchestra Wives features a treasure-trove of songs by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren, the same team responsible for the hits featured in Miller's first film, Sun Valley Serenade (1941).

		It's Glenn Miller and his orchestra all right, even though the producers called him Gene Morris or something like that, and there is lots of music played by them.
		It's about the few wives or girl friends traveling with the band, who do not necessarily make the musicians' hardships on the road any easier.

		While it seems mannered and much more professional in hindsight than some of the crass big screen tie-ins of today, Orchestra Wives is very roughly the equivalent of something like The Spice Girls Movie or an early Usher flick — a movie conceived entirely around the burgeoning appeal of the Glen Miller Band.
		To this end, the mixture of drama and tunes is somewhat awkwardly stitched together by screenwriters Karl Tunberg and Darrell Ware, working from an original story (heh) by James Prindle.
		The cool thing, though, is that actors Rutherford and Fayard Nicholas pop up for an audio commentary track, and their participation and remembrances give Orchestra Wives some much-welcome zest, particularly when they relate their memories of Miller.
