The Big Broadcast of 1938 / College Swing Double Feature
"The Big Broadcast of 1938 is a blast! Bob Hope's first film in which he plays a cruise ships' entertainment director with W.C. Fields as a ship's Captain. The first ever premier of Bob Hope's theme song 'Thanks for the Memory'."

"For those interested in the quality of the sound and picture and if it is an original, unaltered release rest assured this one is. Fantastic sound and picture quality with no alteration. A genuine pleasure to watch and own. "
"I am a huge fan of Mädchen Amick, so I loved seeing her in the movie,
Plus the ending is VERY clever,
Its an old film so there are no special features on the DVD"
"Andy Kaufman, the world's most dedicated, misunderstood, and honest comedic artist, is shown here at his best: wrestling, his favorite fetish and one of his best jokes on the audience. I would implore anyone interested in Kaufman or curious about his life and work to check out this chronicle of his bizarre bouts and skirmishes on the Letterman show with professional wrestler Jerry Lawler and to avoid the recent movie Man on the Moon, in which Jim Carrey and Milos Forman will doubtlessly insult the genius' memory by Hollywoodizing his story. This is the real Kaufman, and although Bob Zmuda only recently revealed the complete, complex joke (that Lawler was in on the gag), nothing is lost in this live parody on people and reality."
"John Wayne the reigning hero of Western & Action films is in a departure of his usual tough guy personna by playing a chracter of self doubt. Wayne plays a Rancher who competes with a gambling tycoon on the Barbary Coast over the hand of a beautiful dance hall queen. This film also displays the infamous 1906 San Fransisco Earthquake. One of the highlights in a film that is otherwise routine. Another highlight is seeing this film in colured version instead of black & white."
"This early outing finds Wayne in a romantic, light hearted story that showed early signs of what was to come. Watch closely to see early parallels with later legendary performances with Maureen O'Hara in films such as the quiet man. Only about 100 mins long, but very easy viewing, and absorbing, don't be put off by the early year of production - this is a very good movie."
