January 3 movie: Here Comes the Groom. Bing Crosby and Fronchot Tone fight over Jane Wyman. Who is so unsympathetic that I spent the whole movie thinking Crosby and Tone should have tossed her over and run off together. They really seemed to like each other better than they liked her.
There's one really funny thing early in the movie: Crosby is in France, working as a post-war foreign correspondent, and Wyman sends him a recorded message on LP, to harangue him for not marrying her. When Crosby plays the record, a tiny Wyman appears on top the record and starts talking to him. Just like Princess Leia in Star Wars! Until the record skips, tiny Wyman tries to fix it and falls over on the record. Hi-larious.
