Orchestra Wives (4-Sep-1942)

Director: Archie Mayo

Writers: Karl Tunberg; Darrell Ware; James Prindle

Lyrics and Music by: Mack Gordon; Harry Warren

Producer: William LeBaron

Keywords: Musical

Ann Rutherford is Robert Montgomery's new wife, but his ex, Lynn Bari, wants him back. The trifle of a plot is unimportant. You're going to be watching this form for only one reason, the orchestral numbers, including "At Last" and "I've Got a Gal in Kalamazoo." Second film featuring Glenn Miller and His Orchestra, the first being Sun Valley Serenade (1941).

REVIEWS

Review by anonymous (posted on 27-Aug-2006)

This it a very boring film to me, I had a hard time just sitting through it, still it's one of only two films that Glenn Miller appeared in and it is for this reason that I keep this film in my collection. I always enjoy seeing as well as hearing the Glenn Miller band and to hear Glenn talking, it kind of gives you an insight into the character of the man. I rated the movie 1 star but I still would recommend it for anyone's collection.
