All, not to be dramatic, but this might be the last BB thread.

Slightly off-topic but related, is a clip from “The Big Broadcast of 1938” movie. A divorced couple meet at the bar on a cruise ship, played by Bob Hope and Shirley Ross, who sing “Thanks for the Memories.” A delightful and bittersweet encounter, the tune became Bob Hope’s theme song for the rest of his career. The clip is 6 minutes, 14 seconds and has a brief beginning with W. C. Fields, doing what W. C. Fields does.
