Question
Hi,

I have vague memories of watching a movie late one night that involved a whole town receiving messages on there radio from a voice. I dont remember if the voice said it was God or if the people assumed it was God. I didnt finish the movie and didnt think much about it at the time and now I would love to see it again. Again, it was black and white and it started with one family in particular getting the "broadcast" and then they found out it was everyone in the town getting it. Maybe the country, I dont remember.

Answer
Hi, David...

Trust your vague memory, pal... the movie you are thinking of is called, "The Next Voice You Hear...". It was made in 1950, and starred James Whitmore and Nancy Davis (yeah, Nancy Reagan...). You tagged the plot, too...

Check it out on www.imdb.com for the details... and, for my money, it's one of the most underrated great films Hollywood has ever made....

Keep it "reel,"
