The Phantom Broadcast (1933) MYSTERY
Фильм және анимация
Stars: Ralph Forbes, Vivienne Osborne, Arnold Gray
Director: Phil Rosen
A handsome radio singer has it all--fame, money, adoring fans--but what no one knows is that it is his accompanist, a hunchbacked piano player that is actually the voice behind the "singer"'s fame. When the singer turns up dead, suspicion falls upon his assistant and the girl the two men were in love with!

I like these old films,mostly for the accurate historic value.
Melodramas that have this kind of story line are often lost (misunderstood or panned for wrong reasons) by modern viewers. The skill (and the character actors) needed to make it work may not be apparent, due to the soap-and-tears. Some movies like this seem more successful to us than others. I like this one - thank you for posting it.

Well can you tell me then why he decided to frame himself for murder though when the plot could've worked a million other ways better? I really don't see it.
You are uploading some great classics Thank I'm enjoying watching this and you're other uploads during this Wintersorm 💕 Thank you so much ❤
I just saw this movie twice. Very enjoyable; thanks for sharing!
This must be where Millie Vanillie got the idea of lip sinking! History is so enlightening!
"Maybe for that dame that kissed him after he was dead." - great line.
A sad,unusual ending,to a very romantic movie! Thank You,PizzaFlix!
A most excellent film
That was the most convoluted movie I’ve ever seen.
Thank you, very much.

Thanks for watching! May the Sauce be with you.
Norman Spencer and Bernard Brown, who did the music for this old picture, also did musical scores for the Leon Schlesinger cartoons at Warners during the mid-1930's, just before Carl W. Stalling took over.

Always listen to your chauffeur. I do,
My biggest fear is I will run out of black and white movies before I die
Love this movie
Such a poignant story; Beauty & the Beast motif, I like the doctor this most.

His character had amazing empathy.
The brunette at the start was a honey.
He was the Frank Sinatra of the 1930's. All the women swooning over him. Not a dry panty in the audience.

Or a brain.
Who is the African American actress at 3:25 and 4:54 referred to as "Mini"?? IMDB seems to have no information at all on this character. It appears to me to be the same person in The Mystery Train (1931) playing a similar role who is also completely uncredited and missing from the cast list on IMDB, although the maid in Goodbye Love (1933) is actually listed on IMDB while uncredited in the film. Was this Hattie McDaniel? God bless her soul.

She is Louise Beavers , this is not Hattie Mc Daniel , who played in Gone with the Wind. Louise played in many movies, throughout her acting career. I liked both of these ladies ,Hattie & Louise , they were fine actresses !
Audio ... not for me.
Nice Drama! If ya gotta kill someone, do it with a little class! Thanks for the REAL movie!

I have no feelings, so it doesn't bother me.
I’m afraid Grant Murdock had one of the worst voices ever to break a microphone. How on gods earth can anyone ever imagine he was a heart throb?

The voice is all right, but the score is terrible and makes him sound like he's droning on and on and on and on.
An early take on the "treatment" of the handicapped. This is directed as if it were a silent film. Note the facial expressions. And note the unarmed shooting toward the end by the police. Not so much has changed!
