This Weekend in 1942, ‘Holiday Inn‘ was directed by Mark Sandrich and starring Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire. With music by Irving Berlin, the composer wrote twelve songs specifically for the film, the best known being “White Christmas.” The film features the complete reuse of “Easter Parade,” written by Berlin for the 1933 Broadway revue As Thousands Cheer. The film’s choreography was by Danny Dare. The film received a 1943 Academy Award for Best Original Song (Irving Berlin for “White Christmas”), as well as Academy Award nominations for Best Score (Robert Emmett Dolan) and Best Original Story (Irving Berlin). Many segments of the film are preceded by shots of a calendar with a visual symbol of the given holiday. For November, an animated turkey is shown running back and forth between the third and fourth Thursdays, finally shrugging its shoulders in confusion. This is a satirical reference to the “Franksgiving” controversy when President Franklin D. Roosevelt tried to expand the Christmas shopping season by declaring Thanksgiving a week earlier than before, leading to Congress setting Thanksgiving as the fourth Thursday in November by law. The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii occurred halfway through filming. As a result, the Fourth of July segment was expanded beyond Fred Astaire’s firecracker dance to include the patriotic number that highlights the strength of the US military. At the box office it did $3.750,000, the highest grossing musical at that time.
This weekend in 1942, ‘Jingle Jangle Jingle‘ was the #1 record with Kay Kyser and His Orchestra with Harry Babbitt, Julie Conway and the Group. The song written by Joseph J. Lilley and Frank Loesser, and published in 1942. The most commercially successful recording was by Kay Kyser, whose version reached no. 1 in the Billboard charts in July 1942. Versions were recorded by many other musicians, including Tex Ritter, Gene Autry, Glenn Miller and The Merry Macs. Kay Kyser’s recording of the song is featured in the 2010 role-playing video game ‘Fallout:New Vegas’.

Facebook uses machine learning, more fact-checkers to combat fake news. It is upping the ante against fake news by employing more fact-checkers and by using machine learning to alert them to hoax stories in a test that is running across the US, Germany, France and the Netherlands. The company said users will be able to see which articles have been disputed by fact-checkers.
Remember, social media marketing isn’t always the tech. It’s the people.
Today, traditional TV still accounts for the lion’s share of video viewing, but online and mobile are where the growth is. When managed together, TV/digital/mobile hold the potential to drive real impact for advertisers—enabling them to maximize the customers they reach and/or reinforce key messaging across screens. After all, ‘It’s all about screens’.
