...One of the few things in this world capable of dragging me
away from the keyboard apart from the need to sleep and eat
was the showing of The Glen Miller Story on ITV on Sunday. The
Benny Goodman Story, The Al Jolson Story and The Great Caruso
are three others of a very limited list.
Starring James Stewart and June Allyson and supported by Henry
Morgan (of MASH fame) this purports to be the story of how the
Glen Miller Orchestra became famous world wide. O.K. so it

I had never heard of it myself, until my father and I spotted it completely by chance in HMV in Nottingham over a year ago (we had actually gone into the city to look for a costume for me to dress up as Hamlet to go to a convention in Swindon, but that's a whole different story....). Being a huge fan of Jimmy Stewart, it surprised me that I was unfamiliar with this title, so I watched it as soon as we got home and instantly fell in love with it.
Pot O' Gold is the story of James Hamilton Haskell (Stewart), a small-town music store owner who goes to the city to live with his uncle, C J Haskell (Charles Winneger), the owner of a health food business. James falls in love with Molly Mc...
