THE BIG BROADCAST OF 1938 - RARE DVD - W.C. FIELDS
Product Description
The final installment of the hit series stars W.C. Fields as an ocean liner owner who pits his ship (S.S. Gigantic) against another vessel (S.S. Colossal) in a high-speed, trans-Atlantic race. While on the journey, a host of musical and comedy stars do their acts, including Martha Raye, Dorothy Lamour, Kirsten Flagstad, and Bob Hope (his first feature film), who sings his signature tune, the Oscar-winning "Thanks for the Memory."
