14 April 2013
Warning: Spoilers
I had mistaken that this was William Haines first talkie.I Don't understand why Time Warner has not put on home video.The Adventures of Jimmy Valentine.Just as I'm critical about them not putting out the trial of Mary Dugan.But they are greedy ,I believe. It still very interesting.I got interest in this film when I saw the advertisement on you tube accompanied by a 78 r.p.m music based on the movie. Once upon a time a long time ago, when radio was young, it was easy for any one to open up a radio station.there were a lot of radio stations.But one day greedy big business invaded it and kicked all the little stations out.Sound familiar? This movie was made at the time when big business was eliminating all the small radio station ,but, there where still some.William Hains portrays a frustrated radio and song sheet salesman ,who gets fired and chases customer Marion,played by Mary Doran only to fined out she is a brother and sister team of a struggling radio station,her brother Sam .played by Charles King.Well Sam and Bill being friends, hires bill to help him out of the radio station.This brings trouble when a bunch of crooks take advantage of the radio station when the leader played by John Miljan, portrays a fake psychic for the radio to help his gang rob the banks.The m.g.m contract played make a short appearance for character auditioning as radio entertainers ,that William put an ad on.Cliff Edwards makes an appearance as a hog caller. Polly Moran wins an audition for being a beauty expert, but is never used.Jewish comedian makes an appearance as a cowboy name Dangerous Dan the Jew! you even have an all girl dance band that plays the movies theme. Charles king does a song number Now this isn't the best movie in the world,but, it good.I got this from amazon.com.04/14/13
