www.imdb.com/title/tt0035157/f... Singing are Tex Beneke, Marion Hutton (Betty's sister), and the Modernaires. Check out the young Jackie Gleason on bass!

I loved this music since I was 9. And sometimes I get to the point to where I need a break from it and I start to listen to some of the music today. And then the second I hear Glenn’s moonlight serenade and his other songs it truly touches me. Makes me feel really happy.

Released in September 1942; the pre-release title was "Orchestra Wife" ( a publicity photo has Glenn and several of his musicans gazing at a "program" featuring that title). Miller insisted his band be featured "up front" in the film, but some liberties were taken as far as the "stars" and supporting cast. Trumpeter Johnny Best was actually playing for George Montgomery; John "Chummy" MacGregor was at the piano for Cesar Romero...and whoever Miller's bassist was, Gleason "impersonated" him.

Beginning at 5:26 to the end, note the position of the camera, moving from the Modernaires' closeup to behind the removed glass in the control booth. Trick shot!

The thing I just noticed and missed it years ago--Jackie Gleason is playing the base in this cut--I knew he played the trumpet--but the base?

Love the sound quality on the film soundtracks! This was before engineers started using magnetic tape for mastering (that began in the post-war years).. so the quality of music recorded on film made the 78's sound like crap by comparison.. Moviegoers in '42 must have been blown away by the fidelity...

If you ever see a 35mm print in a theater with decent sound equipment, you'll find that it's so-so. Every copying cycle, i.e., the final mix session, and copy to the release print, does a number on the fidelity. One thing you will hear on the film print is the military drumming when the camera focuses in on the drummer. This happens in other places as well. I hope the copyright owner doesn't try to "restore" the sound, just leave it alone.

Note: The Great One, Jackie Gleason is the bass player!

Jackie Gleason was in the cast as the bass player and George Montgomery was the trumpeter, but neither actually played their instruments.

Yes, Herman "Trigger" Alpert, 'Lego'. There he was in the 1941 group photo of the band on that 20th Fox soundtrack album- properly identified- and I saw it not more than a few days ago!!! WHY didn't I remember his name then???????

Yup. He's the bass player on the audio recording, but Jackie "bang zoom" Gleason is the bass player in the film. They overdubbed the audio with the film.

@therealjoebloggs I always thought Milli Vanilli got a bad deal... I was OK with the act being anything they wanted it to be! I'm a person who loves to listen to the records... It's rare that I'd see bands performing anyway... So what if they were nothing more than lip-syncers! It's just an act...
