Trivia
Sonja Henie wanted to have three ice skating production numbers, but only two were finished and included in the film. Darryl F. Zanuck would only allow a third if Henie would pay the production costs for it, which she refused. See more »Soundtracks

A great film from long ago. I have long been a Glenn Miller fan and was pleased to find out the my 8 and 10 year old kids love this film and the music also. Sun Valley was around 3 years old at the time of filming and watching the film really makes you yearn to be a part of the way things used to be. Even immigration is covered as the band goes to Ellis Island to pick up the "little" refugee.
Chattanooga choo choo was featured in the film and many not know that it was the very first gold record, the first million seller. A classic film I would recommend to all, young and old. Kick back and listen to the way music used to be in the golden age.
