It's still raining as we begin our odyssey through the Sinatra filmography with the first of a three-part series exploring shorts he appeared in between 1935 and 1948. First up is MAJOR BOWES AMATEUR THEATRE OF THE AIR (1935), in which he wore blackface - a topic we attempt to cover sensitively, diving into the complicated history of the song "Shine" and the legacy of this form of racism today. Then we're off on THE ROAD TO VICTORY (1944), also known as THE SHINING FUTURE (1944) in its extended Canadian cut - a WW2-era infomercial for war bonds in the form of a sci-fi film set in the not-too-distant future of 1954, or 1960 in Canada. We learn about "Shoo Shoo Baby", The Great Gildersleeve and the term "rusty dusty" before finally explaining what war bonds are.
