The Big Broadcast of 1937 (1936)


The Big Broadcast of 1937 Poster
1h 40min | Comedy, Music, Romance | Oct 5, 1936 | Released

A cream-of-the-crop gathering of 1930's radio stars, who lend themselves to a storyline about a failing radio station which needs to put on a huge ratings winner to have any chance of continued operation. An interesting mixture of the stars whose fame continued to grow, those who became bit players in show business history, and those who have been forgotten entirely, except at the Internet Movie Database of course!

Director: Mitchell Leisen

Producer: Lewis E. Gensler
