A Middle of the Night Music Post: Thanks for the Memory - Bob Hope and Shirley Ross


This clip always gets me right in the feels, as they say, every time I see it. I don't know if any scene in the movies better captures a sense of melancholy nostalgia and bittersweet love. By the way, I've never seen the movie it's from, THE BIG BROADCAST OF 1938. The whole thing is on YouTube, as well. Maybe I ought to watch it.

Even the song alone, without any visuals, is very moving. (A local DJ plays it every now and then on an oldies show.) Your post came at the perfect time, as I'm reading a biography of Bob Hope, a very interesting guy.
