song "A Fine Romance", introduced by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in the 1936 RKO film Swing Time, include a reference to the newsreel series: A fine romance, with no kisses.A fine romance, my friend, this is.True love should have the thrills that a healthy crime has.We don't have half the thrills that The March of Time has. The March of Dimes, a fundraising organization that still exists, was named by Eddie Cantor in 1938 as a play on The March of Time. Because Franklin D. Roosevelt founded the March of Dimes, originally called the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, a dime was chosen to honor him after his death.The March of Time series was satirized in Orson Welles's film Citizen Kane (1941) with the News on the March segment showing the life and funeral of the fictional Charles Foster Kane. The Canadian documentary series The World in Action (1942–1945) was patterned after The March of Time newsreel series.
