If you're a fan of the big band sound (which I'm not) you will probably like this pic much better than I did.

Unfortunately, while Jimmy Stewart provides yet another winning performance as the seminal big band leader, the film is an unsatisfying hybrid.

Miller's great music is THE thing in this romanticized bio of the band leader.

Featuring a towering performance from Jimmy Stewart as America's most popular band leader, Anthony Mann's intelligent if also sentimental film is one of the most enjoyable Hollywood biopics.
