The Glenn Miller Story traces Miller’s

as Miller’s wife, Helen, who learns the
value of patience when Glenn spends
his wedding night jamming with Gene
Krupa and Louis Armstrong. Given an
officer’s commission during World War
II, Miller helms the swingin’est military
band ever heard. In December of 1944,
a plane carrying Miller isappears
while flying over the E glish Channel.
In me oriam, radio stations all over the
world suspend their regular broadcasts
to play suc Miller standa ds as
“
Moonlight Seren d ,” “Chattanooga
Choo Choo,” and “Little Brown Jug.”
Many
f Mill r’s conte poraries,
including his fi st big-time boss, Ben
Pollack, appear as themselves. The
success of The Glenn Miller Story
inspired Universal to give the go-ahead
for another musical biopic, 1956’s The
Benny Goodman Story, with Steve
Allen in the title role.

THE P I RAT E
Saturd y, July 13 at 6:00 p.m. &
Sunday, July 14 at 6:30 p.m.
(1948)
Cast: Judy Garland,
Gene Kelly, Walter Slezak
On a aribbean isle in the e rly 19th
century, sheltered young Garland comes
to beli ve th t travelling troubadour
Kelly i in reality “Mack the Black,” a
not rious pirate. Kelly realizes that the
surest way to win Garland’s heart is to
impersonate the romantic buccaneer,
and this is what he does--nearly getting
himself hanged in the process. Cole
Porter’s marvelous score yielded only
one bona-fide hit: “Be a Clown”, which
has practically nothing to do with the
storyline, but do you care? Highlights
include the magnificently staged “Mack
the Black,” a heady combination of
Broadway glitz and Caligariesque
nightmare.
