The Big Broadcast of 1938 (WC Fields/Bob Hope)

Now spinning, the DVD looks amazing, clean, clear and the sound it great. A crazy movie for sure.

We have Bob hope singing thanks For The Memories, WC Fields riding a flying minibike/plane, and a race between 2 boats while a lot of music is being played on board.



Full movie!!

Oh my crush Martha!




Martha Bellows: Gee, I'm so cute! I'll bet they put my picture on the front page.
Scoop McPhail: I'll never forget the last time you had your picture on the front page. Your mouth was continued on page two.
Scoop McPhail: (after being kissed by Martha) Aaaaahhhh! I've been kissed by a tunnel!
