- GoofsWhen Brennan is talking to his boss Smedley; he tells Smedley, "Don't get excited". But on the next cut, the same scene is repeated with Brennan using a variation of the dialogue, this time telling Smedley, "there's no use in getting excited."

Featured review
I heard it on the radio
William Haines's breezy smart aleck personality carries Remote Control to the
upward reaches of the laugh meter. Haines manages to sell himself to brother
and sister Charles King and Mary Doran who own a local radio station as just
the kind of announcer they need. Given some of the acts they have as regulars
Haines is more like a ringmaster of the air.
One of them however is phony psychic John Miljan who along with his predictions from the beyond is giving out instructions to his gang of bank robbers. I think you can figure out where this one is going.
Remote Control takes full advantage of the Wlliam Haines persona and is a must for his fans. Too bad that within 5 years Haines would be gone from the screen.
