I just read Sonja Hennie's wiki biography. She was a huge force in figure skating, with her Olympic wins matched only by Katerina Witt. Later when she transitioned to movies, she became a big star for 20th Century Fox. She also had her own ice shows, becoming a very wealthy celebrity. Glad that youtube is showing her movies.

Long live the classics . Glen Miller and his Orchestra. Moonlight Serenade. Wow!❤❤❤

[@desireeclarins5491]

I absolutely LOVED this movie!!!! They sure don't make movies like this anymore....but they should.

[@allegra0]

They cant. The spirit is lost….gone with the wind.

[@lucmarien7955]

SONJA HENIE, my mother told me about the movies with her and she was a great ice skate champion !!! I’m from 1957 born so finally i see one !!! Great with Glenn Miller !!! L.M.

[@chrissnodgrass2705]

Good movie

[@oanhsanford7241]

Thanks for posting classic movies.

[@mylittledogshoppesouthpark1350]

I love Tex Benekie 😊

[@GuantanamoBayBarbie3]

I like old movies so much better, so I'm looking forward to watching this. I see it has the Nicholas Brothers in it - they're always amazing. And a younger Milton Berle than I've ever seen before - I almost didn't recognize him! Jimmy Dorsey & his band are such a treat to listen to. It seems to have been such a simpler time. I miss those days of relative innocence.

[@birchlover3377]

My latest go-to, fluffy, escape movie 🥰The skiing scene is my favourite.

[@mysticakhenaton1701]

the BIG music is mine.

[@claudianielebock424]

I love this film

[@johnryan3913]

Ah yes, a cool big band musical on ice!

[@gringoquenocomecuy]

Very silly and fluffy but the entertainment value out of this world! A great promo for Sun Valley, Idaho, too, which is worth a visit by anyone - a real classic place.

[@terrydtdi]

I’ve been looking for this movie for a couple years. So glad you posted it!

[@sozanmarshall2832]

Great film

[@simonf8902]

He plays piano and skiis like a pro

[@PaulH-hl5hw]

I would love something of what they were on in these movies...always happy.and hyper

Many of the studio stars were given speed of some sort. From what I understand, they were all high most of the time.

[@andreagubanski7815]

Mein Lieblingsfilm ist die Glenn Miller Story. Wenn er endlich seinen neuen Klang gefunden hat heule ich jedesmal 😂

[@TheEmmochka]

First time I watch that movie in Russia when I was 3 years old. My father was working in movie place he was playing in band. 1959

[@johnblogger8619]

Glen Miller died too early - and he died a complete hero over the English channel supporting the English and the British fighting Hitler in the 2nd World War.

[@alfredocorreia9385]

O GRANDE DESTAQUE DESSE FILME FOI SEM A MENOR SOMBRA DE DÚVIDA A PARTICIPAÇÃO DE UM DOS "MAIORES ÍDOLOS DA MÚSICA POPULAR MUNDIAL" ATÉ HOJE: O MEU QUERIDO *MESTRE GLENN MILLER* !!! MITO ABSOLUTO!!!

[@hughsnyder6967]

This is when there was real talented people existed. They ran out of talented people and rap music took over Now people with NO talent rule this sucks

[@uslines]

Spot on!

[@marymayer2282]

I liked this movie better than orchestra wives although I liked that one also I liked the storyline better in this one and the Very pretty Sonja henie and her glorious skiing and skating and of course the wonderful Glenn Miller sound

[@davewarwicker2512]

Wonderful :-)

[@jacqueline8559]

I love John Payne, but I've only just discovered him and his Films.. Why isn't he as well known as Cary Grant, Rick Hudson ,et al ?! Glenn Millers Band were fabulous in this, too ❤ ( could definitely live without the Ice Skating, )

[@RetrospectiveMovies]

I'm asking myself the same question for years.

[@bigchick100]

It’s what she was famous for

[@desireeclarins5491]

I LOVED the figure skating!!!

[@allegra0]

Great music and dancing ….46:44 Puts most current pop crap to shame.

[@jacqueline8559]

Only most? I can't stand today's complete rubbish. Especially (C ) RAP, as it should be called 😂

[@juliarobinson3752]

What a time it was ?! Glamour , beauty , great American Western European values and Traditions Golden years of Hollywood. No political correctness BS And no barbarians who flooded America as we see it today . Men were men , women were women . And Hollywood knew how to make movies .

[@ethankim6456]

19:57 No explanation needed

[@bryanmagunga]

For me memorable moments are 51 to 55mins.

[@missamericana.4]

I adore this film, but is that an adult's voice for the child at 13:58?

[@AllenMacCannell]

They took a train from Manhattan to Idaho that fast? Get me a ticket! Glen Miller died shortly thereafter?

[@gregorykayne6054]

3 years later. Dec. 15, 1944. A Army plane crash over the English Channel.

[@dorisbrinkerhoff8124]

what happened to music .it was so Bautiful and now day not so Bautiful

[@bigchungas4728]

Corporate greed, music is not designed to soothe anymore, it’s designed to sell, it’s sad but true cause this type of music is so incredible rich and beautiful

[@haishva_editz]
