Join us, Nick and Glenn as we discuss three movie gems to usher in the holiday spirit: "The Bells of St. Mary," (1945) "The Bishop's Wife,"(1947) and the lesser known, but must-see,"Come to the Stable" (1949). All three films depicting a moral decision that has to be made involving property, and all three involving members of the clergy.
You'll hear the golden tones of Bing Crosby, alongside Ingrid Bergman in "The Bells of St. Mary," Loretta Young who stars in both "The Bishops Wife," and "Come to the Stable," along with Celeste Holm, the Bishop himself, David Niven, Gladys Cooper, and Cary Grant, as the best looking angel to come along…probably ever.
It's our way of celebrating the true meaning of Christmas and wishing you all a very merry!
Join us, Nick & Glenn, as we take a look and listen to recordings of American and British performers who entertained and recorded in London in the 1930's, 40's and 50's.
Straight from Nick's former record label, Encore Productions, we play selections from "Oklahoma!" "Annie get your gun," plus 2 spectacular numbers by the last of the red hot mama's herself, Sophie Tucker!
Also included in this very special episode, is an interview with one of the veterans of this time and her experiences performing in Rodger's and Hammerstein's Oklahoma and Carousel, Margot Moser, along with audio clips of her own singing from these shows.
Finally, for a change, we talk a bit about our professional pasts and connection, in relation to this wonderful period of time, when Americans traveled to London pre WWll and post to perform the likes of Irving Berlin, Rodgers and Hart, Leonard Bernstein and many more.
Take a listen to some great, great music and some great history!
