Are You Listening?
âDon't touch that dial.â
Synopsis
WBLA is on the air, presenting the live music, the sudsy dramas and the sell-sell-sell of commercial interludes that keep consumers buying and sponsors smiling. But one sponsor, a producer of plumbing supplies, isnât happy. So WBLA scriptwriter Bill Grimes is bounced from his job, setting in motion this movieâs turn from comedic to darkly tragic. William Haines, two years removed from being Tinseltownâs top male star, plays Grimes in a melodrama noted for its glimpses of live radio production and for a Depression-era ethos that includes peroxide cuties eager to land a job, a sugar daddy or both.
