Radioland Murders

Very few people have seen this movie, despite the fact that it was written by George Lucas. This is a fast-moving murder mystery set in 1939 inside a radio station. Despite a series of murders, the show must go on! This movie is fun with great music and great acting.

Radioland Murders is a crazy-ride of comedy & murder-mystery produced by George Lucas & set during the 1930's at WBN Radio commencing its grand debut on radios across the land. In celebration of this, the station have a studio audience and naturally have live performances which are brilliantly depicted in such a way that make them faithful to the eyes & the listeners of the ears. As if the stress of making sure the show goes along without a hitch, none aided by it's some touchy and moody stars, a murderer is on the loose and announces riddles of his next victim over a microphone somewhere in the building. This is a very underrated movie and I have always wondered why. The movie bombed in theaters and silently vanished from our minds. There are a number of cameos in this movie and some great performances by Christopher Lloyd, Mary Stuart Masterson & Scott Michael Campbell. The best comparison would have to be Clue, as it seems to have a similar sense of comedic insanity. It will not blow you away, but if you are a fan of Old-Time Radio or even the movie Clue, this movie is a must see.

Breezt, enjoyable period-piece comedy / muscial / murder mystery set in a radio station at the zenith of the radio era.

This is one of my all-time favorites. Nutty story but like being at the broadcast of a great 1930's radioshow live.
