i have to agree that the movie be not the best i have ever see and but i would like to make mention that the actor portray tommy and jimmy dorsey be the actual dorsey brother . a actor and they be wonderful musician . the movie and base on their famous split and would have be good have professional actor play the part . many movie make during this time frame take advantage of the popularity of big band . most often and the movie be not that good because musician be not actor by trade . most of the movie go audience do not go to see tommy or jimmy dorsey play themselves while they go for the plot and the music . i have never be much of a dorsey fan and but the music be good even today . i have to comment on a previous post regard the actor who play mom and pop dorsey and that their accent would be consider extreme by a dublin audience . arthur shield and sara allgood be actually irish actor and both bear in dublin . you might remember mr. shield a the reverend mr. playfair in the quiet man and ms. allgood a mrs. monahan in cheap by the dozen .
