The women of a touring symphonic orchestra are a tightly knit group, and theyre not about to let the secret they hold slip through the knitting. Theyll wait until fragile, pregnant bassist Barbara Ainsworth (June Allyson) has her baby before letting herknow about a War Dept. telegram that says her husband is missing in action in the WWII Pacific. But Barbara begins to notice differences in the way the women are acting around her. The all-star Music for Millions is part weepie, part comedy, part moralebooster and all in all a stirring showcase of works by Chopin, Debussy, Grieg and others. Jos Iturbi adds his gifted screen presence and talents as the orchestras conductor. Jimmy Durante provides warmth and comedy relief that includes his nightclub favorite Umbriago. And Margaret OBriens endearing performance as Mike capped a year that resulted in a special Academy Award for Outstanding Child Actress of 1944. **Please be aware that this is a manufactured on demand disc that was created using a DVD-R disc.
