  1. In observance of the centenary of World War I, which lasted from July 1914 to November 1918, TCM devotes its popular Friday Night Spotlight franchise to films about this conflict. Primetime films in the Spotlight are hosted by retired U.S. Army General Wesley Clark, a veteran of 34 years in the Army and the Department of Defense. A winner of the Silver Star for his service in Vietnam, Clark later commanded Operation Allied Force in the Kosovo War during his term as the Supreme Allied Commander and Commander in Chief of the U.S. European Command.

  2. “The Twist” was released by Hank Ballard and The Midnighters as a B-Side to “Teardrops on Your Letter” in 1959, but charted only at a modest #16 – this despite the new dance the band had come up with to perform along with the song. But when it was recorded the next year by Chubby Checker, his version rocketed up the charts.

  3. If Ben had said, "Well, while Quentin and I were chatting yesterday, he mentioned....", I would call THAT 'namedropping'. All he did was mention an opinion of a well-known director. This is fact, and you can take it for whatever you think Tarantino's opinion is worth.

    I, for one, appreciated hearing that bit of trivia.

    A failing radio station needs to put on a ratings winner to have any chance of continued operation.

    DirMitchell Leisen CastJack Benny , George Burns , Gracie Allen .

    LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:

    D: Mitchell Leisen. Jack Benny, George Burns, Gracie Allen, Bob Burns, Martha Raye, Shirley Ross, Ray Milland, Frank Forest. "Almost unbearable musical about the competition between small-town discovery Ross and egocentric radio star Forest. Manages to waste the talent of its formidable cast, plus guest stars Benny Goodman, Larry Adler, Benny Fields, and Leopold Stokowski! "
