[Dixielandjazz] Jazz Bio Movies

[Richard Broadie]

It's such a shame that that movie (as virtually all movie jazz bios) had so 
little to do with the real Glenn Miller who was not nearly as nice a person 
as the one Steve Allen portrayed.  I could ramble on for about 8 hours here 
but just want to open the door a crack.

Worst movie of all time: Nat Cole in the WC Handy story.  Jazz is acceptable 
at end when St. Louis Blues is played without a trace of jazz by  39,253 
symphonic musicians.  Well maybe the count was a bit exxagerated but 
certainly close enough for jazz.
