Thanks for the Memory is a 1938 film starring Bob Hope and Shirley Ross, and directed by George Archainbaud.

History

The film represented Paramount Pictures' attempt to capitalize on the overwhelmingly positive response to the song, "Thanks for the Memory," as performed by Hope and Ross in The Big Broadcast of 1938, released by the studio earlier the same year.[1] The movie plot, based on a 1930 stage play by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett [2][3] (previously filmed by Paramount in 1931, with Norman Foster and Carol Lombard) dealt with an out of work writer who stays home and plays house husband while his wife goes to work for her former fiancé.[4]
