NEW YEAR’S EVE 1953 REMEMBERED
I was breathless with anticipation when I went to this New Year’s Eve offering at Spokane’s Post Theater at road show prices. The LP was a Chanukah gift from Auntie Dora (Barer) and I still have it. Singers Tex Beneke and Ray Eberle from the original Miller band aren’t in the movie but can be seen with Glenn in the 40s TCF musical “Sun Valley Serenade.” (Not available on DVD yet.)
The VHS tape I am watching tonight has a $69 price tag but I got it for a buck at the thrift store. A restored version of Glenn Miller was shown at a downtown St. Paul auditorium in the 80s and I took Mike to that. The ending was from the imagination of director Anthony Mann.
