Hail Mary

In this week’s show…

Reviews are centred around two Pre-Code treats - one a Capra-esque light comedy about an ancient town founder suddenly finding himself muscled out by progress, and the other a tawdry tale of girl doing all she can to pull herself up out of the gutter.

The first stars the most annoying human being ever born. The second stars the most unemotional strangler ever born. And the third stars a horror icon as a Teen Wolf/Abraham Lincoln ape monster with a penchant for hats and coats!

Music come from Bing, Bog and the 1940’s answer to Johnny Rotten, Mr Jimmy Dorsey!

There’s another brain-teaser as we try to guess… Who The Hell Is That Hollywood Legend?

There’s a dive into the QUESTION POT!
