Going Through the Era's // Matinee Saturday {1930s}

Today is Matinee Saturday. Y'all can share movie reviews of films from the 30s. Or, share your favorite Actors/Actresses, fun movie trivia, etc....


I'll share with y'all a short movie review of Ronald Reagan's first feature film: Love Is On The Air {1937}.


Last fall TCM was showing a couple of Ronnie's films so I decided to tape some of them. Mostly because Reagan is one of my favorite actors. One of those films that I taped was, Love Is On The Air {1937}. The story of a top crime reporter for a radio station, who digs his nose into things his sponsor doesn't want him digging up- information about some gangsters {because he, himself is in league with them}. 


The station gets in trouble and they have to give Reagan a new radio program. So they give him the children's program. But he still finds a way to solve the murder case on the kiddie show. 


I loved this movie! It was also neat that Warner Brothers had Reagan's first film be about a radio broadcaster. As that was his job before coming to Hollywood to star in pictures.

  5. It's always humorous for me to think of Ronald Reagan the President as an actor...since I had no idea he was an actor up until several years ago. :) I'll have to find some his movies to watch.
