A number of the "goofs" were liberties taken by the writers for various reasons. Just to name some of the most obvious:
> Tex Beneke, Ray Eberle, Marion Hutton, and the Modernaires were never mentioned.
> Little Brown Jug was the band's first major jazz hit, not the last.
> PE6-5000 was (and still is) the phone number of the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York where his orchestra was the house band, not the number of a place he stayed on the road.
> Helen Miller wasn't able to have children due to an illness, not an auto accident.
> The Army Air Force Orchestra is never shown with its string section.
> Singer Fran Warren is shown wearing a Chanel dress from the late 1940s, long after Miller's disappearance.
> When Fran Warren helps Jimmy Stewart onto the stage set up in an airplane hangar she can be heard to say "Thanks, Jimmy" instead of "Glenn".

Did Henry Morgan play piano in the movie The Glenn Miller Story?
He didn't actually play it.
What is the Henry Mancini tune written for the Glenn Miller Story?
Henry Mancini wrote the movie's theme song, "Too Little Time".
What song did Glenn Miller arrange for his wife because it was her favorite?
That story is entirely made-up. The 1954 biopic The Glenn Miller Story included a fictional sub-plot about Helen liking the tune Little Brown Jug while Miller supposedly disliked it. The movie ended with him having relented just before his death in 1944, and making an arrangement of the song for her. In reality he liked the song a lot and it was one of the band's first big sellers in 1939.
What did Glenn Miller do for Ray Anthony?
Ray Anthony's tenure with Glenn Miller was short and not very sweet. He was about 17 when he joined the trumpet section, and despite a good audition that won him the position his actual performances were very shaky. He left the band after a short period of time. As he matured and became a better musician, Ray Anthony traded heavily on his brief association with Glenn Miller, not to mention his strong resemblance to movie heart-throb Cary Grant. He released a number of Miller-styled albums during the period from the late 1940s to the early 1960s, and continued to lead an orchestra performing Miller-like swing into the 1980s and 90s.
