The Loudspeaker

1934 · 67 min

A brisk, wisecracking rise-and-fall showbiz tale that turns surprisingly sober as ambition curdles into arrogance and self-destruction.

Overview: A young man from a small town hits New York City, bound and determined to become a radio star. Amazingly, he achieves his ambition, but in the process alienates everyone around him with his arrogance and egomania.
How it feels: Cynical, melancholic, earnest and light. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Ambition, addiction, betrayal, love
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
