Make way for The Big Broadcast of 1938 with a plethora of Hollywood's brightest stars, including W.C. Fields, Martha Raye, Dorothy Lamour and Bob Hope in his feature film debut. T. Frothingill Bellows (Fields) and S.B. Bellows (Fields again!) take sibling rivalry to new extremes of hilarity when they embark on a transatlantic race across the Atlantic in their giant steamships. Yet everyone's a winner in this competition, with show-stopping tunes such as "Thanks for the Memory," "That Moon Is Here Again" and "You Took the Words Right Out of My Heart" hitting the waves amidst moments of pure comic genius. It's an all-star extravaganza you won't want to miss!

    Wacky entertainment

    Any film that features performers as disparate as W. C. Fields and opera diva Kirsten Flagstad (singing Wagner) has to pique anyone’s interest! Also starring Bob Hope, Shirley Ross, Martha Raye and Dorothy Lamour, this far-fetched smorgasbord of a musical has to be seen to be believed. What was Paramount thinking? Fascinating all the same.

    Glad to see this in Blu-Ray!

    Hat's off to the makers for giving us this fine Blu-Ray; the picture is nice and the sound is better than the dvd. It was reasonably-priced and arrived as promised. I'll now order several mor Fields titles coming out later this month.

    Not cinematic art, but very enjoyable

    W.C.’s Swan song with Paramount allies him to revive a bit of his golf routine and his pool table routine. I could have used more Fields - some of the musical and comedy interpolations were lame at best (or weird - Kirstin Flagstadt singing Wagner?). The one exception - Bob Hope’s theme song “Thanks for the Memories” is beautifully performed.

    Nice to get more W.C. Fields on disc

    This isn’t W.C. Fields’ best film, and it’s not a pristine restoration, but the disc is still very pleasant to watch and better than any prior home video release - a good preservation of best surviving elements like this release is more than good enough. The routines Fields has on display here are delightful, and it’s great to see these vintage musical acts onscreen. This disc should please fans of Fields and 1930s popular music, but is probably not the best starting point for someone new to either.
