Very good movie

[MichaelHarris]

from the olden days, older than even Woodstock. The Huckster with Clark Gable. It has a Rupert Murdoch character before Murdoch became a character. Quotes:

Gable: But, they have some rights, Kim, it's their homes we go into, and they're not grateful to people who get one foot in the door by pretending to offer them music and drama, and then take too much time in corny sales talk. I want to go on record as saying that I think radio has to turn over a new leaf. We've pushed and badgered the listeners, we've sung to them and screamed at them, we've insulted them, cheated them and angered them, turned their homes into a combination grocery store, crap game and midway. Kim, some day, 50 million people are going to just reach out and turn off their radios.

If you ever get to see it you'll see Gable go off on the "ghost of Murdoch past" character in part of the movie.
