According to Leonard Maltin, this is
mostly fictitious. That’s OK, it’s the music and Glenn Miller’s sad end that
are the point, I assume. And I assume it’s going to be sugary sweet, but the
music will be good, and Jimmy Stewart will be Jimmy Stewart, the nice version.
Two hours later….
Yepp, that about sums it up. No further comments necessary other than that the sugary sweetness was bearable and the cameos with Louie Armstrong and Gene Krupa deserve a * of their own.
3 ½ * of 5.
