Are You Listening?

Don't touch that dial.

WBLA is on the air with live music, sudsy dramas, and the sell-sell-sell of commercial interludes that keep consumers buying and sponsors smiling. But one sponsor, a plumbing-supplies producer, isn't happy, so scriptwriter Bill Grimes is bounced from his job, setting in motion the movie's turn from comedic to darkly tragic. William Haines, two years removed from being Tinseltown's top male star, plays Grimes in a melodrama noted for glimpses of live radio production and a Depression-era ethos featuring peroxide cuties eager to land a job, a sugar daddy, or both.
