***SPOILERS*** A bit corny but very effective, even today, film about God getting in touch with all humanity via the radio to lead it away from it's materialistic as well as unethical ways before he's, I guess that what you can call it or him, to take matters into his own hands . This has hard working All-American Joe Smith, James Whitmore, who's up to his neck in bills with a new mouth to feed on its way realize, together with the entire human population, that there more to life then just money as well as bread or booze alone.
Joe hears this massage on the radio,that no one in the audience hears, that God is speaking to him about whats happening in the world and he's about to change things for the better. That's if those on earth change their un-Godly ways and get on the straight and narrow path in life. It takes six days of massages, all coming at exactly 8:30 PM PST, to finally get his massage across as well as using nature, with a Noah like downpour, thrown in for good measures. Joe All-American for some reason is fearful of his wife Mary, Nancy Davis, who's about to give birth to their second child in that she, where did he get that idea, will die in childbirth! As the messages from God become more and more believable, in that there's no reason to dispute them, Joe loses it and get himself good and drunk in a local bar with his wild and crazy friend Mitch, Douglas Kennedy, and bar girl Sweetie, Marjoris Hoshelle, gulping down about two dozen drinks.Then all tanked up and coming or staggering home drunk like a skunk and embarrassing his son Johnny, Gary Gray, who always looked up to him as a role model.
***SPOILERS***Sobering himself up with a hot cup of coffee and finally getting his act together Joe together with the entire worlds population attends church or temple or synagogue to hear God's final massage which doesn't come since it's the "Seventh Day" or the "Sabbath" when he stopped giving massages and finally rested. By then it finally hit home to what God wanted from the human race and they all, man woman & child, became a lot better persons for it. As for Joe All-American his fears of his wife Mary dying in childbirth, where did he get that crazy idea from, proved to be unfounded with her giving birth to a healthy bouncing and bubbling 8 pound baby girl as the movie finally ended.
P.S It was two years later in 1952 that Hollywood tried to top "The Next Voice you Hear" with the over the top "Red Planet Mars" that had God take side with the free world against the USSR as well as the Communist block that became the laughing stock of the year in making God a partisan not universal and for all peoples entity!
