The Friends of the Thomaston Library Present:
The Glenn Miller Story

Thomaston Academy Building
The Glenn Miller Story traces Miller's (James Stewart) rise from pit-orchestra trombone player to leader of the most successful big band of his era -- the early 1940s. June Allyson plays Miller's wife, Helen, who learns the value of patience while Glenn searches relentlessly for "the sound" that will put him on top. Harry Morgan plays his side-kick. Louis Armstrong and Gene Krupa pop up in cameos.
