To wrap up our podcasting year with a record-shattering 77th episode, Ryan is once again on a solo mission to review something that's considered a classic. And while it's always a pleasure to see Cary Grant and Myrna Loy, the reason to cover The Bachelor And The Bobby-Soxer is that it represents our first Shirley Temple (Black) flick. She's one of the title characters---you can guess which one---while Cary plays the other title character in another in his long line of rom-com hits. He was the master of the smiley love stories, especially those in the screwball genre. But is either the comedy or the love story in Irving Reis' light-hearted Oscar-winner particularly convincing though? And did Shirley Temple actually wear bobby sox? That last question isn't answered in this 558th dose of Have You Ever Seen, but a lot of other ones are, as this half-hour monologue breaks down The Bachelor And The Bobby-Soxer.

Today the Grouches continue their journey down Best Original Screenplay with "The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer"
RING A DING DING TIMECOME FLY WITH ME by Frank Sinatra (Capitol, 1958)This is my 100th episode, and it seems appropriate to end the Captain Billy series here with Frank Sinatra. The practice of going through my 8 track collection and luxuriating in the music of my youth has been a tonic, getting me through a season of grief and isolation. And, now, as I pack up my house of 26 years, parsing through and divesting myself of some weighty possessions, I sense that it may also be time to move on to other occupations. My partner, Richie B, has always been a devotee of Blue Eyes, - (he's been lobbying for Frank's induction into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame for years) - and when I started collecting 8 tracks by amassing large lots of unidentified carts, there were more Sinatra tapes appearing at my door than by any other artist. This album is from the jazzy, Rat-Pack period Frank, my favorite Sinatra era by far. The early, crooning, Bobby-Soxer's Dreamboat never did it for me. But these piquant Capitol recordings have it all: the swing, the manly heartbreak, and winking sexy fun of America's all time greatest male interpreter of popular song, during the time that that form dominated American culture.Arranged by the jaunty Billy May, everything about this “concept” album - (a musical trip around the world) - shows The Chairman of the Board at his ring a ding ding best. Dig those syncopated horn pops and flirty flutes as they insinuate themselves around Frank's relaxed articulations. Here, Sinatra is perfecting his ability to mine deeper layers of meaning from lyrical phrases by stopping and bending time. It is an art exhibition, by a master of communication, at the pinnacle of his craft. One more thing - For the past 20 years I have been fortunate to have worked at an Acting school situated directly across the street from the iconic Capitol Records building - the edifice that Frank built, and I have some wonderful memories of teaching in a classroom of windows, with blinds raised, so we could watch that cylindrical building of legend be bathed in a rosy Hollywood sunset. So, I salute you, home of my heroes, the Beatles, and of Richie's - Frank Sinatra. That's all, folks.
Lux Radio Theatre, sometimes spelled Lux Radio Theater, a classic radio anthology series, was broadcast on the NBC Blue Network (1934–35) (owned by the National Broadcasting Company, later predecessor of American Broadcasting Company [ABC] in 1943–1945); CBS Radio network (Columbia Broadcasting System) (1935–54), and NBC Radio (1954–55). Initially, the series adapted Broadway plays during its first two seasons before it began adapting films. These hour-long radio programs were performed live before studio audiences. The series became the most popular dramatic anthology series on radio, broadcast for more than 20 years and continued on television as the Lux Video Theatre through most of the 1950s. The primary sponsor of the show was Unilever through its Lux Soap brand.

Poet, translator and cultural commentator Anthony Esolen joins James and Thomas to discuss one of his favorite filmmakers in the genre of "screwball comedy", Preston Sturges. Sturges wrote and directed eight films between 1940 and 1945, seven of which are regarded as classics. This episode focuses on two of those films: Sullivan's Travels (1941) and The Miracle of Morgan's Creek (1944). Sullivan's Travels is about a director of cheap comedies who decides to go on the road as a hobo so he can make a film of true social significance, making a fool of himself in the process. It displays Sturges's ability to write and direct dialogue that is fast, sharp and snappy, but never flippant or glib. Sturges is virtuosic in navigating dark material with a light touch, and able to switch seamlessly between pathos and humor, ending up in a place of warmth and graciousness without sappy sentimentality. This is also true of The Miracle of Morgan's Creek. In an age in which even married pregnancy could not be depicted on film, Morgan's Creek pushed boundaries by depicting unwed pregnancy. It ends up being a very pro-life film as well as something of a time capsule, showing how a social stigma against unwed motherhood was not incompatible with compassion and support for such mothers and their babies. Like Sullivan's Travels, it has an outrageous, hilarious and utterly unpredictable ending. These films prompt a reflection from Esolen on how "The moral law makes mirth possible," and how the sexual revolution killed romance - two reasons great screwball comedies cannot not be made today. Other movies reccomended by Anthony Esolen: Penny Serenade, People Will Talk, and also The Lady Eve, Arsenic and Old Lace, Bringing Up Baby, Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House, The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer, You Can't Take It With You, The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet (TV series), “Walking Distance” (Twilight Zone episode) Other movies mentioned by Thomas Mirus: Hail the Conquering Hero, Unfaithfully Yours, The Awful Truth, It Happened One Night Links Joel McCrea discusses his faith https://www.guideposts.org/better-living/entertainment/movies-and-tv/guideposts-classics-joel-mccrea-on-gods-guidance Podcast about Betty Hutton's conversion to Catholicism https://americancatholichistory.org/betty-hutton/ Magdalen College of the Liberal Arts https://magdalen.edu/ Music is The Duskwhales, “Take It Back”, used with permission. https://theduskwhales.bandcamp.com This podcast is a production of CatholicCulture.org.

"Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House" 1948 is a delightful comedy based on Eric Hodgins's 1946 book of the same name. Cary Grant as James Blandings and Myrna Loy as Muriel Blandings team up following their worktogether in "The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer“ 1947. Director H.C. Potter crafts this funny tale as the Blandings decide to leave their Manhattan apartment for the countryside of Connecticut. What follows is a series of miss steps as the Blandings forge ahead in the pursuit of their dream home.Melvyn Douglas as Bill Cole is the ever-present third wheel in the Blandings family. Bill is the very close friend and lawyer who foresees endless problems with the property that Real Estate Agent Smith played by Ian Wolfe has successfully "unloaded" on the Blandings. Among the excellent cast in this muddled situation are Louise Beavers as Gussie who saves Mr. Blandings job in advertising and Reginald Denny as Architect Henry Simms.

Andrew McCabe resignation. Robert Mueller's investigation of President Trump. Will Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg resign? How does she stay so fit in her 80s? Those questions and more answered on TALKish, The Halli Casser-Jayne Show when joining Halli at her table is Newsweek's Senior Washington Correspondent, Matthew Cooper, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg's longtime friend and personal trainer, the author of THE RBG WORKOUT, Bryant Johnson.Comey is gone. Andrew McCabe is going. Rosenstein could be next. What is President Trump up to? Will Robert Miller be allowed to finish his investigation? Newsweek magazine's Senior Washington Correspondent, Matthew Cooper, has worked for some of America's most prestigious magazines including Time, The New Republic, National Journal, U.S. News & World Report. He wrote for Newsweek in the 1990s and rejoined the magazine in 2014. A veteran White House correspondent, he's known for his in-depth reporting and analysis from Washington. Cooper also earned national attention during the CIA leak case where his refusal to name his sources went all the way to the Supreme Court. He has appeared on "60 Minutes," "Meet the Press" and a host of broadcast and cable shows and is a frequent guest on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show.Here's one for you, the perfect title for a film: The Personal Trainer and the Supreme Court Justice, sorta like The Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer. Except it isn't a film. This is the real life story of how Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, one of the Supreme Court's favorite octogenarians, after a bout of colorectal cancer that left her, according to her husband, looking like an “Auschwitz survivor' hooked up with one Bryant Johnson, today one of America's most well-known sought after fitness guru's, in part thanks to his association with Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Bryant tells the story of their longtime personal and professional relationship in his book THE RBG WORKOUT, HOW SHE STAYS STRONG…AND YOU CAN TOO! Like Ginsburg, THE RGB WORKOUT is a small book, but packed with a whole lot of information. How does Ginsburg stay so active and energetic? In the book's foreword, Ginsburg credits her verve to the twice-weekly workouts she does with personal trainer, Bryant Johnson, a man she's called “the most important person” in her life (after her family, of course). It's all here, including the workout from start to finish so you can exercise along with Justice Ginsburg.Andrew McCabe resignation, Newsweek, journalist Matthew Cooper, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, The RGB Workout, Republicans, Robert Mueller all on TALKish, The Halli Casser-Jayne Show.

"The Bachelor and The Bobby Soxer" aired on Lux Radio Theater June 13, 1949 on CBS starring Cary Grant and Shirley Temple. A comedy about a womanizing bachelor who is ordered to date the teenage daughter of a beautiful judge. Lux Radio Theater 490613 The Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer (HQ)
Lux Radio Theater strove to feature as many of the original stars of the original stage and film productions as possible, usually paying them $5,000 an appearance to do the show. It was when sponsor Lever Brothers (who made Lux soap and detergent) moved the show from New York to Hollywood in 1936 that it eased back from adapting stage shows and toward adaptations of films. The first Lux film adaptation was The Legionnaire and the Lady, with Marlene Dietrich and Clark Gable, based on the film Morocco. That was followed by a Lux adaptation of The Thin Man, featuring the movie's stars, Myrna Loy and William Powell.THIS EPISODEThe Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer is a 1947 screwball comedy film starring Cary Grant, Myrna Loy, and Shirley Temple. Sidney Sheldon was awarded the 1948 Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for this film in his first and only Academy Award nomination during his career in Hollywood. The film was directed by Irving Reis and was one of the few non-film noir outings for noted cinematographer Nicholas Musuraca.
