Not as good as the first one.

I have never heard of Martin Block before and this isn't surprising, since he was a popular disc jockey back in the 1940s. He made about a half dozen shorts for MGM...and knowing which is which is tricky. All have the same title AND all were made the same year! The only way to know which is which is by the guest stars in each film.

This is an odd installment. The film features a clip of Glenn Miller (who was killed in 1944) and consists of an interview and songs by Ted 'Tex' Beneke, a guy who played with the Glenn Miller Orchestra. However, by 1948, Beneke had struck out on his own--with his own orchestra named after himself. So, it's sort of a tribute to Miller. You hear a few clips of Tex singing various songs, including "Chattanooga Choo Choo" and "Making Love Mountain Style".

This one was a bit of a disappointment...probably because the first one was better and had better music. This one was more uneven and if you love Beneke, you'll love it...I didn't.
