The Big Broadcast of 1937

5th October 1936
1h 40m
Mitchell Leisen

The Big Broadcast of 1937 is a 1936 Comedy Music film released on 5th October; Mitchell Leisen directed the film which stars Ray Milland, Dennis O'Keefe, and Bob Burns.

IMDb
6.1

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!

If you started watching this film now, it would finish at approximately 6:22am.
