James whitmore, nancy davis reagan. We start out with the perfect american family, in the perfect american city, post world war two. When dad hears the voice of god on the radio, he is mystified, but at least other people heard it too! And of course, it wigs people out, and they start to turn on each other, just like the episode of twilight zone in 1961. Although this film came first, by about ten years. Can the world figure out what the real message is, and learn from their mistakes? Although this story involves what might be the voice of god talking through the radio, it could easily just be about doing the right thing, and the golden rule. Did you notice frank cady in the locker room? He was also mister drucker on green acres! Directed by william wellman, who made some huge films. Even won the oscar for "a star is born". Story by george albee. He was father to edward albee, who wrote the (hugely successful) play "who's afraid of virginia woolf?" this one is okay...gets a bit sugary sweet and religious at the end.
