Bachelor Mother is a very delightful movie, within my top 10 favorite screwball comedies. The subject matter (single Mom raising a baby) actually raised a few eyebrows and more than a few complaints to the studio. Man, if those people could see whats in today's movies.

I plan to watch it Saturday morning. Netflix has not heard of it. Mrs. Homer might raise her eyebrows to see me watching TV that early.

I noticed a few interesting items from the ads in this post. The theatre experience was way different from what we get today. The Jack Benny movie at the Paramount has personal performances by Gene Krupa and the Andrews Sisters. What would be today's equivalent?

I did a double take when I saw Claudette Colbert and James Stewart in "It's a Wonderful World." My eye tried to turn it into a Wonderful Life. I looked it up on imbd.com. It sounds pretty good. I will check Netlflix for that one.

Two movies below that one is "Some Like it Hot." Turns out it is not an early version of the Billy Wilder classic but a Bob Hope picture (with the ubiquitous Gene Krupa drumming and acting). According to the imbd.com review it is a stinker.

Johnny Weissmuller is appearing (presumably in the water) in the Billy Rose Aquacade at the Worlds Fair. Can't go wrong at 40 cents a seat.

Lastly, Hitchcock's "The Man Who Knew Too Much" is showing at the Normandie. His first try with that movie was from 1934. After five years it is already a classic!

I love this movie too.... The scene in Times Square with David Niven and Ginger Rogers is probably the most romantic one ever filmed (when they wish each other Happy New Year). Ronald Colman taught David Niven how to kiss his leading lady very well!
