CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
relivingradio Remember WENN looks back at a time (tongue in cheek) when radio was family entertainment. Rupert Holmes created the 1930s radio station as a backdrop for many faces which were not very well known in movies. Their voices and his humor made the show a success much like voices were the backbone of radio 70 years ago. Chris Murney excelled as the man with a thousand voices and referred to himself in the introductory episode as the "hairless Hamlet." Of all of the people we love to hate Melinda Mullins did a great job as Hillary Booth. Holmes' love for the past and the impact it has on the present is seen much like it is in his later work, "Good Night Gracie." Like any television show, certain weeks were better than other. Plays on words and word humor make it most memorable. Though Remember WENN was only on the air for a few seasons, it had clearly a divided audience: either you loved it for the memories you would have liked to have had of a time in which you didn't live, or you hated it for being "slapstick humor" with little know talent on AMC where most people were looking for classic movies. Personally, I liked it and still enjoy the recordings I made of it.
lovewenn I miss this show terribly! It is still my favorite show of all time. No matter how many other shows I start watching they never beat it. I started watching it in high school at about the age 15 and joined the list online and made wonderful friends through my interest. Most of them I still talk to today.I liked how it was not just a drama or a comedy but it was a dramedy. Being a historian and WWII buff especially this show intrigued me from the beginning. Plus we got to see some great stars of the past before they passed away. The great acting done by all the cast brought it to life and made it more real then a television show.This show was never about dirty comedy or about who's all sleeping with who like many of the comedies on today. It is clean good fun that anyone of any age can enjoy. We never did learn that answer to the one supposedly dirty joke about the queen of hearts and the elephant or something like that.
Ripshin Excellent series, wonderfully acted. It contains some of the wittiest dialogue I have ever heard in a product made directly for television. I was thrilled when AMC created such a surprising gem, and was equally appalled when they cancelled it prematurely. Turner Classic Movies replaced AMC in my house after that fiasco.
Voni I miss this show. Sadly, I also missed a large portion of the series' final run due to awkward scheduling. But what I remember about it can still bring a smile to my face. I won't even try to name all the things I liked about the show. I loved the way Mr. Foley's every attempt to speak was invariably thwarted by someone who had something ever-so-important to say right at that moment. Then there was the teddy bear-like Mackie Bloom, always a welcome sight. And it never hurt to see the pretty face of Betty Roberts, either. Her sweetness, among other delights in this show, makes me long for a more innocent time and place. Wow, how profound! So sue me (in the modern tradition).A Halloween episode, for me, stands out as an absolutely hilarious example of what made me look forward to dropping in on these quirky old-time radio players on a regular basis. Mr. Foley, by the way, was the station's sound-effects provider. Ever heard of Foley artists in film and television? Coincidence? I think not!So, did Mr. Foley ever get his chance to actually verbalise a thought or opinion? I hope to find out someday.
