Afternoon Cinema: The Glenn Miller Story

Join us for a 70th anniversary screening of The Glenn Miller Story, the Oscar-nominated biopic of big band leader Glenn Miller (1904–1944).

Originally released in 1954, this timeless classic follows Miller from his early days in the music business in 1929, through to his death in 1944 when the airplane he was flying in was lost over the English Channel during World War II. Part musical, part romance, the film tugs at the heartstrings with its charming depiction of Miller's courtship and marriage to Helen Burger, and includes various cameos from popular musicians who were his friends and colleagues.
