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

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.

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.

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