That Was The Year That Was
As everyone knows, or at least as everyone has heard somewhere along the way, 1939 was the greatest year in films. It is astonishing the number of landmark pictures that were put out that year.
A partial list includes:
Gone With The Wind
The Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes
Gunga Din
Love Affair
The Hound Of The Baskervilles
Of Mice and Men
The Hunchback Of Notre Dame
The Roaring Twenties
Golden Boy
The Lady Vanishes
Wuthering Heights
Mr. Smith Goes To Washington
Beau Geste
Ninotchka
Destry Rides Again
Babes In Arms
Drums Along The Mohawk
Stagecoach
Goodbye, Mr. Chips
The Wizard Of Oz
Intermezzo: A Love Story
The Women
Only Angels Have Wings
Young Mr. Lincoln
The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex
Dark Victory
With such a veritable banquet of offerings vying for the picture goer's dimes, who do you suppose was the actor/actress who sold the most tickets that year? Ok, I'll tell ya:
Ready?
Ok, here goes.
Starring in five movies that year,
The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn
The Hardys Ride High
Andy Hardy Gets Spring Fever
Babes In Arms
Judge Hardy And Son
The sawed off, multi-talented bundle of energy outsold any other performer at the box office. An honor that he would repeat in '40 and '41.

That Famous Musical Comedy Team of Joe And Francis.
These two troupers first appeared together on October 21st, 1933, in a recital for parents, staff and fellow students at Lawlor's Hollywood Professional School.
Despite really putting it over, nothing much happened for the act. But four years later the old team came together again, dusted off the act, tried again and BINGO!
Joseph Yule, Jr. and Francis Gumm
Happy Birthday Francis!!!
