The read
It runs a compact 24m.
Synopsis
In depression-era Saskatchewan, families took refuge in the magic world of radio. When Grandad's old Marconi is short-circuited by the stingy power company, so begins "the great electrical revolution," and a good-natured comedy that pits the working class against the capitalists.
