Whenever a newspaper page appears in an old movie, I always want to read the stuff around whatever's being featured in the plot. So I froze the image to read the classified ads at the start of this scene, and to my surprise, the ad immediately to the left of the pertinent one reads: "HELP WANTED - MALE / DRESS - Blue chiffon in Cunningham's drug store, of Griswold exploded today, killing two and were demolished." Meanwhile ALL the other ads on the screen are completely normal and realistic. So this was some oddball little in-joke that no movie-goer in 1939 was able to read or wonder about, but which we can today!
It wasn't a joke at all. Evidently you are unaware that blue chiffon dress bombs were heavily utilized by the U.S. Air Force in World War II, and dropped all over Germany and Japan, until we ran out of blue chiffon.
@@truthbetold444 It wasn't right to publicize the blue chiffon dress bombs in a Hollywood movie in 1939, two years before the USA would get involved in the war. Disseminating crucial defense information like that to the potential enemies of our nation could be considered treasonous. J. Edgar Hoover should have investigated and brought the perpetrators to justice, I say.
This film aired on our local “Million Dollar Movie” - you know, the station would air the same film three times over a weekend. Being an entertainment-hungry kid, I watched it three times. Today I have trouble remembering my usernames/passwords, but I can “Sing a Song of Sunbeam” verbatim!
They still do that but you were lucky, you had a good movie to watch 3 times a weekend.Now it's rubbish we are expected to enjoy. I could gladly accept an old movie, the kind they don't make any more.
Bing was the BEST VOICE EVER!!
Bing is my favorite singer! I live his music. His voice was very beautiful❤
Dear Bing, the master of song

'Cause they know
They're null and void.

You give out, they're gonna give in!
People always love a jolly gent,
They might even make him president!

@@petertaylor3600Amen. Bing was Superb, singing here. Looks like good movie.
In reality, no record player in the 1930s could possibly have worked in a moving vehicle. The needle would've been bounced all over the record.
This is my new fav
Bingy boy
Der Bingle "😊
Are you really going to smile and wave out of the window when some turkey has just done in your back fenders and the tail light as well?
Only if you're Bing Crosby!! LOL
Haha I love this! :)
