Isn there a Hollywood musical movie about Sousa?
Yes. The movie, known alternately as “Stars and Stripes Forever” and “Marching Along” was made in 1952. It starred Clifton Webb as Sousa and also a young Robert Wagner as his favorite Sousaphone player. Unfortunately, while it is an entertaining film, it is chock-full of inaccurate information. Members of Sousa’s family and his famous band both criticized the movie and were very disappointed with it. For more information, check out the Internet Movie Database.
