I knew that this scene was going to be the one. I was an Army musician and every time I watch this movie I always get that feeling on the back of my neck just like June did in the movie. Whenever we had a concert or even a rehearsal where the magic of music came together perfectly, I would get that tingle in the back of my neck. It is a feeling that is hard to describe but when it happens, it is the combination of all of the senses coming together in perfect harmony. I can never get enough of it!
Glenn Miller's Music was the Best Big Band Music of All Time ❤
I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT JUNE ALISON ,HER HAIR IS LOVELY, AND FRAMES HER FACE BEAUTIFULLY!!!
This scene has ALWAYS given me goosebumps! It is perfect!
I am glad to hear that!
I remember when I watched this movie for the first time. This scene got me in a way...
It is wonderful.
Fascinating analysis. You pay attention on deep levels. Without your perspective, I'd not have been alert to the jewel beneath the surface. I've always been enthralled by music from that era, with special attention to a few of the band leaders, and partial to Glenn Miller. It's only fairly recently that I've become attuned to the enchantment of the lyrics of this song. As was the case with many songs from that time period, it evokes young romance and love en route to its maturation. James Stewart looks considerably like Miller and captures his essence. June Allyson, with one of the most magical of all actresses voices, although popular at that time, has faded into ancient history as so many from that time have. Even Judy Garland is an unknown name now, even the Beatles. Yes, even the Beatles, and the details of them. Shocking, and yet not. I know nothing about hip hop and care little about it. Too bad, but I've not the interest, or the ear, to pursue it. In 25 years - I'll not be around then - but a new breed of music will then be present, and people will wonder who is Beyonce, or Michael Jackson. Thank you for your vision and putting it into words. It informs and makes exciting. what could easily escape attention.
Thank you very much!
Part of the purpose of this channel is to explore the symbolic part of art, which, unfortunately, has been lost.
June Allyson is without a doubt a fantastic actress and looks stunning in this film. You can easily fall in love with her in every scene.
As far as the evolution of music is concerned, we are living through a very sad period of decline in the musical heritage of the 20th century.
I never imagined I would see someone choosing average/bad singers like the ones we have today as better than Michael Jackson, but we are experiencing it daily.
The trend, unfortunately, is getting worse...
Well, in parts of America, the older sounds and also vinyl record collecting has become very cool for the younger generation. Good to know it's COOL again, and always the best kids doing it and searching. It's hopeful,
I was searching and searching for this scene and stumbled upon your gem of an analysis. Great scene and thanks
Thank you!
My favorite scene in this movie is the military review " St Louis Blues March", makes you get goosebumps! I tear up every time.
Agree. Great movie! ❤
Still remember one most beautiful films and the music really unforgettable and the was so sade
Jams and June were great ❤️🌺🇬🇧
I can’t believe I came across this video!! They just used to have this scene and others on UA-cam but they were removed.
This classic is my favorite scene, too, and it is about my favorite song. I now have the DVD and can play the movie as often as I wish. It is a WONDERFUL movie and I have seen many movies in my 80 years. I was in fourth grade when it came out. Spoiler Alert: The final scene is a heartbreaker. So many of his catchy tunes are heard and I’ll never forget them.
I can say the same for another great biopic of John Philip Sousa via “The Stars and Stripes Forever”; which preceded the Glenn Miller Story” by two years. (1952). Its final scene also gives me goosebumps. Yes, I’m a “War Baby”.
I'm very happy that you liked the video!
In fact, I found almost nothing on UA-cam about this film before I uploaded it.
I hope they don't take this one down too...
Great , this has always one of my favorite movie forever . Worked as an usher in my high-school years saw it 10 times over 3 days , a great movie
OMG thank you! This is one of my favorite movies, for many different reasons. Two things, Glenn is not "composing Moon Light Serenade" he is changing the arrangement to work with the Clarinet lead. He had written it originally with a trumpit lead, however, the trupeter spllt his lip and Glen had to come up with a last minute way to have the " show go on", as they say, and decided to use the lead Clarinetist to replace the trumpeter, this created the Glenn Miller Sound. That is why when the scene changes from Glenn writing to the band playing the focus of the shot is the clarinet's bell.
Great analysis. It seems you got into the scene and the makers vision. Great work.
Thank you very much, my friend!
It means a lot to me.
WOW! Great analysis bud
Thank you!!
It's one of my favourite movies.
I have the VHS of this film and have watched it many many times, but not lately. It was a wonderful, heartwarming and with a sad ending story. But it's predictions that his music would go on forever, which it has. I now am watching many of Miller's numbers both his original orchestra and the overseas wartime band with Johnny Desmond and the Crew Chiefs, so enjoyable via U-tube videos. Your explanation of the scenes are very well done and appreciated. Many thanks.
Thanks!
Excellent analysis of Anthony Mann's directorial genius.
Thanks!
It means a lot to me.
James Stewart was an amazing actor:
brilliant in his interpretation and delivery of his many roles✨
Henry Mancini, early on in his career, provided the background score for this superb motion picture.
I was a public school band director, play trumpet, know a guy who played in the woodwind section of an army big band during WWII, before I was born, name is Henry Nelson who is 101 years old! He sat next to Henry Mancini in that band, they knew each other. Henry Nelson was asked to join Henry Mancini after the war for a big band, but Henry Nelson turned him down and became a public school music teacher. He lives in the Lansing MI area. He judged my school band often at festivals, I usually got a top rating out of him...I used to joke with him about the alleged $10 bribe I gave him for a better rating, we played together in a local big band when he would substitute for a bass player. The guy could play many different instruments. Our theme song in our local big was Moonlight Serenade...every time hear that now I tear up, the leader died and the band broke up, he was easy to get along with, nice family, and I miss him. I cannot believe Henry Nelson made it to 101 years old!!
I first saw this film in 1955...and have played Miller ever since. What this scene shows, in the merge, is the source of The Sound; clarinet playing in unison with saxes. Three tracks I've played, on and off, for decades.....Are You Rusty, Gate? , The Hour of Parting, and Glenn Island Special...all three show the Miller sound and beat at it's best.
Chills🥰
incredible
June always had wierd hair😂😂😂😂😂😂 love her
O FILME REALMENTE É MUITO BONITO, MAS LAMENTÁVELMENTE COMETEU INÚMEROS EQUÍVOCOS QUE FUGIRAM DA REALIDADE!!!
PODERIAM TER CONVOCADO RAY EBERLE, MARION HUTTON E TEX BENEKE, POR EXEMPLO, QUE EM 1953 AINDA ESTAVAM RELATIVAMENTE NOVOS.
ISSO DARIA A PRODUÇÃO MAIS REALIDADE COM A PARTICIPAÇÃO DESSES GIGANTES QUE FIZERAM PARTE ESSENCIAL DA CARREIRA E SUCESSO MUNDIAL DO MESTRE GLENN MILLER ATÉ OS DIAS DE HOJE!!!
UMA OBS: PRA SER SINCERO JAMES STEWART MUITO POUCO LEMBRAVA O MESTRE E JUNE TAMBÉM EM NADA SE PARECIA COM A QUERIDA HELEN!!!
ENFIM... VALEU PELA EXCELENTE TRILHA SONORA!
Tex Beneke said that he and Ray were omitted from the movie at the request of Miller’s wife. Apparently there was a riff between them.
@@Doug326 MINHA FILHA TRADUZIU A RESPOSTA DO AMIGO: REALMENTE EU SOUBE HÁ MUITO TEMPO QUE HOUVE UM DESACORDO SÉRIO ENTRE HELEN E BENEK!
LAMENTÁVEL!!!
ACONTECEU ALGO SEMELHANTE NO MÉXICO, QUANDO A VIÚVA DE ROBERTO GOMEZ BOLANOS, CRIADOR DOS FAMOSOS PERSONAGENS *CHAVES* E *CHAPOLIN*, FLORINDA MEZA, CRIOU ATRITOS COM ATORES REMANESCENTES DOS CÉLEBRES SERIADOS!!!
Love June allyson. Even eith that wierd hair
The music is great {recreated by Joseph Gershenson and the Universal-International Orchestra}- but the movie is pure Hollywood baloney.
In real life, Glenn wasn't inspired by Helen Miller to write "Moonlight Serenade", "Little Brown Jug" (actually arranged by Bill Finegan}, or "A String Of Pearls" {written by Jerry Gray}. That's "Hollywood Love Story No. 39", and Valentine Davies used the same premise when he wrote "The Benny Goodman Story" over a year later.
It's true that the film is caricatured, but I don't think we should evaluate it just by correlating real life and fiction.
The film, like every biography, takes moments from the protagonist's life and romanticizes them.
Adaptations allow for this kind of creative freedom.
Shakespeare had already done the same in 1599 with The Tragedie of Julius Caesar...
So, looking at the film individually, it is a pretty nice film.
Computerman, could you please learn how to say "focused". Don't say the e d at the end. You end up swearing instead. Quite disturbing in such a otherwise fineand beautiful video.
