UniversalInternationals first public announcements, early in 1953, employed the soondiscarded title, Moonlight Serenade.

Several turning points in Millers career are depicted with varying degrees of verisimilitude, including the success of an early jazz band arrangement his departure from the Broadway pit and sideman work to front a band of his own the failure of his first band on the road and the subsequent reforming of his successful big band and the establishment of the Miller Sound as typified by Moonlight Serenade.

When the military band led by Miller is playing in front of General Hap Arnold, a B29 bomber is in the background. The marching troops are desegregated, which didnt happen until 1948. ........
