The Big Broadcast of 1938
Overview
The last of the Big Broadcast vaudeville extravaganzas highlights Hope's first feature appearance - singing his signature, Oscar-winning song, "Thanks for the Memories" - and Fields fumbling through a nonsensical farce about twin brothers racing yachts to France. A horde of radio stars makes their accustomed appearances.
