The Glenn Miller Story (DVD, 2003)

James Stewart doesn't look that much like Glenn Miller, but he has the mannerisms and actions down perfectly, and the sound track holds up after all this time. June Allyson plays her part with much emotion, giving this fantastic film (and piece of history) a very heartwarming appeal, especially at the end, I cry every time I see it. The best scene is when Miller and the band are performing outdoors and the sirens sound for a bombing raid - but they keep on playing, you can see it in Stewart's eyes that he is hopefully trying to keep everyone's mind off the war by performing "In The Mood", while at the same time knowing that he is risking not only his own life, but his band mates and all those in attendance who jump to the ground when a nearby bomb is dropped, shaking the ground, and the band stops for just a second, then as they see that the bomb went off far enough away that they are safe, the band comes back stronger than ever! If this scene were shown in a movie theater today, it would garner much applause. A+++++

This is a great film for music lovers: the struggle of an artist as he tries to create a new sound. Although it is a bit slow in getting started, the story picks up after a bit. Like a good book, sometimes one needs to read a few chapters before it gets really good! This film is the same way!

I have only seen this movie once and you have to be a lover of music to really enjoy a film of this sort. A music teacher could show it to a class and they would probably like it. I enjoyed and would recommend it.

This movie is an all-time classic. Jimmy Stewart is at his best.

It contains several great jazz performances from Gene Krupa, Tommy Dorsey, Lionel Hampton, and others and it threads the great Glenn Miller music into the fabric of history.

This is a great gift for your parents and grandparents.

IT IS A GREAT MOVIE ABOUT THE BEGINING OF ONE OF THE GREAT IN BIG BANDS AND JAMES STEWART ACTING WAS GREAT IN NEW CONDITION AND THE SELLER SENT IT FAST

Excellent movie, good condition and speedy delivery. Brings back so many great memories of when I saw The Glenn Miller band in person in Minneapolis as a child. Thanks!

Very moving story from one of the great wars. I watch it alot in the week and still wonder if his band would be that good in todays world.

A good example of a good DVD. DVD was reviewed and in good shape. Look forward to finding more of these kind of DVD's ...new and in good shape.

Great Actors and great music, I just love,love,love old movies! Jimmy Stewart protrays Glen Miller in this wonder movie of his life and music. June Allison plays his devoted wife who loved and supported Glen in all of his efforts to become one of the greatest music writers and band leaders of his time! This movie will make you laugh and cry. It will carry you back in time when swing was in and have you humming "In the Mood", String of Pearls and many more of Glens timeless tunes!

I thought the shipping was a bit long. The movies are what I order.

This has been almost like the search for the grail. Could not find it on DVD. It's one of the best movies, soudntrack wise that merits the purchase of the whole thing. It is immaculate as far as quality and the colors look like they have been corrected after so many years. Great purchase for whomever collects muisc bios and for musicals.
Great buy

I love old tv movies and this is a great one. Jimmy Stewart and June Allison are great actors for this movie. Great music and great actors, what more could you ask for.

I love that the items were received in excellent condition and in a very timely manner! eXCELLENT seller!!!

I have not watched the Cd but it looks to be in good condition. It arrived in proper time.the package seemed to be new and in good condition. I am pleased with the product.

This movie is a fine tribute to Glenn Miller, and the music is especially well arranged. Miller himself was a musician whose arrangements became famous. The various Miller classic numbers are highlighted by Miller's rendition of the St. Louis Blues. Jimmy Stewart and June Allyson co-starred in several classic movies and this one is one of their best. The semi-tragic ending doesn't detract from the movie's appeal.

If you love classic movies esp jazz swing music, you will love this movie. Jimmy Stewart and June Alison do a great job. Entertaining from start to finish. A+

I am very satisfied with this purchase. The service and shipment was very prompt. I have been wanting this movie for a long time and am very glad to have found it. I look forward to doing business with this dealer again.

The storyline was excellent,the performers were top notch,I love the big band
swing(I'm only 59). Just an enjoyable movie to set back,relax,and enjoy.

Always great.If you like Glenn Miller you love this movie. One of James Stewarts best films. You will enjoy most of his biggest hits.

For anyone who is a fan of James Stewart, or for those who would like to discover him, here's a great place to start. The story is engaging and entertaining without violence, crude language, or sexuality. Today's Hollywood could learn a few lessons from this movie. The classic swing music is a real plus.

I saw this movie when I was a high school kid and fell in love with Glen Millers music. I have tried to find this movie at my local video store and I guess it's too old. And finally I found it on eBay and it's great, I played it for my wife and she enjoyed it and now understands why I like Glen Miller. Thank you eBay.

I was looking for The Glenn Miller Story DVD for my sister's birthday present and I couldn't find it anywhere else except eBay. It was a really good price, I think I only paid about $7 and it was in perfect condition!
