Mother and son, Matthew and Ysabeau, Matthew and Lindsay.
I just adore them. Their dance together was so beautiful, the chemistry palpable. Two wonderful actors creating magic on screen.

This Day in History: Glenn Miller disappears
On this day in 1944, big band leader Glenn Miller disappears over the English Channel. He and his plane were never found.
Miller was a much-loved and successful musician of the era. He had a string of big hits, such as “Moonlight Serenade” and “In the Mood.” He’d worked on a few successful movies. He was married to his college sweetheart! He had two kids.
In short, he was a man with A LOT to lose. But that didn’t stop him from putting everything on the line for his country.
Miller was in his late 30s when World War II began. Because of his age, he didn’t have to volunteer. He could have simply stayed home in America throughout the war. But he didn't.

In the Mood by the Glenn Miller Orchestra is from 1939.
However...
Hot and Anxious by Flecther Henderson is from 1931.
Tar Paper Stomp by Wingy Malone is from 1930.
Was the most famous big band song of all time plagiarized?
