The movie itself was just enh. Millionaire W. C. Fields is financing a luxury liner in a Transatlantic race. Meanwhile, Bob Hope plays emcee for the ship's entertainment.
The entertainment is, well, varied. From an out-of-place animated sequence to an operatic solo from Valkyrie to a duet that is quite reminiscent of Snow White and the Prince.
But then there's "Thanks for the Memory". It might not be remarkable here, but it became Bob Hope's signature song. And yes, I am old enough to fondly remember him singing it at the end of each Christmas special.
