Big Broadcast of 1938

	Big Broadcast of 1938

This comedy/musical extravaganza, set mostly aboard an ultra-modern luxury liner, does not hold up as well as most of W.C. Fields' films. It is overlong and rather dull in spots, but several funny scenes (with Fields, of course) almost compensate. Surpringly, the best scene is that in which Bob Hope sings, for the first time, the song that has become indelibly associated with him for the past 63 years, "Thanks For the Memory". It is a duet with Shirley Ross, and it is done not as a funny novelty song, but as a poignant one. Worth seeing. *Viewer Reviews* It's easy to see why W.C. Fields hated "The Big Broadcast of 1938," since his unique talents were ill-suited for Paramount's musical-comedy revue. The few memorable moments in this 90-minute hodgepodge can be found during the first hour - highlighted by the Great Man's surreal golf routine and Bob Hope's "Thanks for the Memory." If director Mitchell Leisen was hoping to recapture the vaudevillian spirit of 1933's "International House," he completely missed the mark. Back To Top
