The plot is thin, but a certainly a whole lot of fun; especially with Glenn Miller's wonderful band. George Montgomery sounded like Rhett Butler's Clark Gable in "Gone With the Wind." How appropriate since co-star Ann Rutherford was in that memorable film 3 years before.
Didn't Grant Mitchell who played Ms. Rutherford's father in this film resemble James Cagney intertwined with Harry Truman?
When meeting Montgomery, whose acting in the film is below par, the Rutherford character quickly marries him only to find out that band life on tour is not what is what was made out to be. Lynn Bari, always up to trouble, in films is at it again. As a band member and former flame of Montgomery, she conspires with the help of the gossips to destroy the marriage.
The music ensemble before the story begins and after it is resolved is wonderful. It certainly takes us back to that period.
