“Bachelor Mother” will be airing on TCM on July 3 at 6 am PDT. In fact, the TCM theme for July is “1939: Hollywood’s Greatest Year.” They will be showing movies from our year all month.

It’s a cute movie. It was remade in the ‘50’s with Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher as “Bundle of Joy.” The New Year’s Eve party scene is great.

One of my favorites. LOVE the theater listings, reminding that you used to get a cartoon, not to mention the business at the Astor must have been booming, it was AIR-CONDITIONED, whoo hoo!!!

Billy Rose’s Aquacade... I have color footage of that. No sound, but it’s fascinating.

1939 was the high water mark for Hollywood.

Very, very shortly we would be preparing to fight for our lives.

The years 1931-1962 are some of the most interesting in American History.

Homer, thanks very much for posting these, and don’t let me drop off your ping list.
