Stars and Stripes Forever...the life of J.Ph. Souza
Created: 01/07/07
) 
Made in 1952, and starring some of the biggest names in Hollywood at that time, this depiction of the life of the legendary composer and band-master, John Phillip Souza, is filled with warm humor, wonderful music, and the exact note of poignancy that it needs to be a true classic.
Clifton Webb stars in this offering that follows Souza's life from the time he made his decision to leave the Marine Corps where he served under five presidents as leader of the Marine Corps Marching Band, and organize his own brass band/orchestra, and go on to become a household name in over 50 countries.
He went from being an poor but much-loved mainstay within the U S military, to being one of the most beloved and well-known band leaders in history. He travelled the entire United States, and to 50 countries, carrying his music to the world.
His wonderful songs and marches are played within the framework of the film with verve and great beauty, and just listening to the music makes the viewer feel a surge of national pride, and a deeper appreciation of the life of the man who gave us that music.
The cinematography and the editing are very well done, and the classic soundtrack was a marvel.
For those who love music, and for those who love nostalgia, this is a must-own! Not easy to find nowadays, but when you find it, do buy it.

We remember it from the original release. Sorry it wasn't on DVD. Light entertainment with Sousa's wonderful marches. We wanted it for our collection even tho a used VHS. Arrived promptly, fine condition.
Loved it

) I loved this movie when I first saw it years ago. I especially liked the music of John Phillips Sousa. I also like to study the founding or our wonderful Country. I know this is probably considered a corny story but I really loved the music. The patriotic music is very inspiring. I want to show it to my grandchildren, especially those who are taking band.
GREAT STORY.
