Tim and Michael talk about The Spirit of St. Louis (1957), Billy Wilder’s chronicle of Charles Lindbergh’s historic solo flight across the Atlantic. Along the way, they discuss other historical figures James Stewart might have played—and both get a little loopy from the altitude.

Hosts Michael and Tim begin a new series focused on the biographical films of Jimmy Stewart, starting with The Glenn Miller Story (1954).

How does this film compare to another musician biopic, The Buddy Holly Story (1978)? What is Michael’s connection to Buddy Holly—beyond growing up in Lubbock? And are these fellows obsessed with Jimmy’s frequent co-star Harry Morgan of M*A*S*H fame?

Join us as we take a look at one of Jimmy’s all-time biggest box office hits.
