This is the funniest piece of radio I've heard in ages! Judy Garland cracks up more than the others, but even her fluffs are fun. (Although is anybody else a bit perturbed by her character being romantically involved with Frank Morgan's character -- Dorothy dating the Wizard of Oz!?!?) Being aimed at servicemen (and not broadcast on domestic networks), they could get away with stuff that censors would never allow at home. Hope and Garland get a rather racous laugh when she explains "I'm appealing to you on my knees!" and he leers back "You appeal to me in any position, kid." I seldom re-listen to a show (in the short term) but I'm going to keep this one in the queue--it deserves a second hearing, and soon.
