Good Morning, Cruciverbalists.  Malodorous Manatee here with the recap of a puzzle co-constructed by a couple of extemely talented folks - and you know them both very well:  CC and Renee (sumdaze).  Brava!

It did not take long for this solver to figure out that something out of the ordinary was going on with the themers because, as they filled in, not a single one of them even began to make sense.  Not only in the way of answers, but in any sense.  Complete gibberish.  Could this puzzle really be that bass-ackwards?  Well, as it turns out, yes.  The reveal at 61 Across helped to sort things out:

61 Across:  Classic film with a time-traveling DeLorean, and an apt description of 17-, 24-, 38-, and 52-Across: BACK TO THE FUTURE.

Ah ha! "On The Horizon", which was used as the clue for every themed-answer (repetition seems to be a recurring motif in this puzzle's clues) was meant to be taken as "in the future".  And the use of the word BACK in the reveal tipped us off that we might want to look at the emerging answers backwards.  With these bits of enlightenment the perps, read right to left, began to reveal the answers.  Eventually, the correct responses all fully emerged.

To wit:

17 Across:  On the horizon: RENROCEHTDNUORA   - - - > AROUND THE CORNER  Pete Seeger and The Weavers give a more literal example.

Early 1950's

 

24 Across:  On the horizon: NOOSYADEMOS   - - - >  SOMEDAY SOON  Judy Collins will illustrate its usage.

Smothers Brothers Show - 1969

38 Across:  On the horizon: EMOCOTTEY  - - - >  YET TO COME  As in "The Best is Yet to Come"

Frank Sinatra

52 Across:  On the horizon: ESRUOCEUDNI   - - - >  IN DUE COURSE  continuing with the "dinosaur" motif . . .

This is how it all looks in the grid:

.... and now for the rest of the story:

Across:

1. Golfer's vehicle: CART.

5. Lingerie purchases: BRAS.  Repetition seems to be a recurring motif in this puzzle's clues.

9. Lingerie purchase: SLIP.     Repetition seems to be a recurring motif in this puzzle's clues.

13. 21-Across in Spain: AGUA. and 

21. 13-Across in France: EAU.

Both AGUA and EAU, in English, mean water.  Clever.  A Spanish clue for a French answer and vice versa.

 FLEETING MOMENT

While I am pleased to see a constructor I have not blogged before ( I checked, and found two grids back in 2022, one in 2019 ), this was a real struggle for me, as it felt a little more than Wednesday-level.  Another 16x15 Grid, another set of circles (yay), another run of 26 Three-Letter Words, another set of some really vague people ( I'm looking at you, 56A. ) crossing names with vague clues, and I ended up with two bad squares - see the grid at the end.  I'm feeling "unsuccessful" with this puzzle - I didn't catch a BREAK, I just feel "broken"; Yem Beady.  Two 12-letter, two 10-letter themes, and a centered 8-letter reveal;

37. Opportunity for success, or what 17-, 29-, 45-, and 61-Across each have: BIG BREAK - synonyms for BIG, with a 'break' in between

17. Small, rustic house on a game reserve: HUNTING LODGE

1. Stage name of actor Raiford Chatman Davis: OSSIE - I begin with the down clues, but even with perps this was still a non-starter for me (#1)

6. Spanish 53-Down: CARNE - AND - 53D. 24-Across, for one: MEAT - sometimes, I am not a big fan of circumreferential clues like this

11. Band also known as the Bangtan Boys: BTS - Their Wiki (#2)

14. Shapewear brand: SPANX - it should be no surprise that I knew this one

15. Trojan War hero: AENEAS - I could not recall this name (#3)

16. "Shine Ya Light" singer Rita: ORA - no clue about this name (#4)

19. Say "Bingo," say: WIN - Shout would have been better

20. "Another thing ... ": "AND ALSO..." - Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy follow-up

Not Douglas Adams, but part "six" of "three"

21. Aired: RAN

22. Recurring TikTok post: VLOG - Video bLOG; ya know, I don't think I have ever visited TikTok, but I do have a friend on Long Island who uploads clips of car repairs/modifications

67. Will of "Blue Bloods": ESTES -ARGH~!  SIX names in just 10 clues = #13
