Characters in different scenarios all attend the same radio show. An old woman leaves her dog at home, but has fainting spells on the way there and after the show. A young man gets a ride into Hollywood with the host and meets a young woman at the show. Another man is trying to cheat on his wife and leading on a pair of young women.
This was very old fashioned and sappy. The plot was presented clearly and held my attention, but I thought it was a little on the sit-commy side. The characters were identifiable and interesting. The audio had lots of pops, crackles and dead air hiss (sorry, no snaps). The video was alright and visible. As I said, the style was sit-commish. The pacing was a little too slow for me, with the musical numbers not really doing anything for the story. There was a "colored" jazz band (pictured) who were all very good at their instruments and at this date, they had no way to fake it with a backing track. I'm rating this poor for being antiquated and not liking it. You might want to watch it if you're over 70 years old.
