Rochelle Hudson, Her first contract in Hollywood was in 1930 with RKO - who lied and padded her age by 2 years to promote that she was 16, when in fact she was only 14! After appearing in numerous Pre-Codes, her career continued until 1967.

Third time's the charm... your hosts tackle THE BAT (1959, Wilbur), a remake of the 1926 silent film and of the 1930 sound version.
This time 'round, we have Vincent Price, Agnes Moorehead and Gavin Gordon starring, but will it make a difference for this old fashioned flick?
THE BAT (1926, West) was previously covered in Episode 16.
THE BAT WHISPERS (1930, West) was previously covered in Episode 23.
Context setting 00:00; Synopsis 28:24; Discussion 41:18; Ranking 57:10

Follow The Fleet - " I'm Putting All My Eggs In One Basket"
I love all of the Astaire/Rogers musicals, but I think I have the biggest soft spot for Follow the Fleet. And it’s not JUST because I’m a sucker for a sailor suit. Bake and Sherry are both unabashedly working-class, for one, and almost all of the usual romantic misunderstandings are reserved for the other couple. For the most part, Bake and Sherry are like Benedick and Beatrice: the single biggest stumbling block to their happy ending is that they’re too much alike and too proud to admit they love and need each other. And once all the other plotlines are tied up, they kiss and make up because they’re just both tired of fighting it.
Plus, we get to see Fred play the piano and Ginger play the clown in a tap routine, and it’s fun. (Keep an eye out for Betty Grable and Lucille Ball in bit parts. Ginger’s mother was Lucy’s acting coach.)
