In Morocco, a gay man hears the Islamic call to prayer and writes a song for his lover. In China, an American soldier watches the same film five times in one day. On a flight from Suva to Sydney, an Australian journalist works up the courage to approach Frank Sinatra. This week we learn all these stories and more while exploring Cole Porter's classic song "Night and Day", as performed by Sinatra in REVEILLE WITH BEVERLY (1943) - a film based on the fascinating true story of Jean Ruth Hay, one of the first ever female DJs in the US. We also cover Sinatra's legendary 1959 concert at the Festival Hall in Melbourne with the Red Norvo Quintet, which he performed for Ava Gardner in the front row... before all these themes come crashing together at the climax of this sprawling 2.5 hour episode. Also, we discuss what we can learn from World War II to survive the pandemic, and finally get to the bottom of war bonds.
