COMMUNITY REVIEWS
The Big Broadcast of 1938 submitted by aknaus on March 6, 2019, 9:43am An entertaining movie from long ago. It highlights a movie style from a time before TV, more like a series of special features. Bob Hope is the real star and features his signature song "Thanks for the Memory".
