Straight Talk
Dreams do come true...sometimes.
Directed by Barnet Kellman
Produced by Hollywood Pictures, Sandollar Productions
A warm, upbeat romantic comedy about an honest small-town woman who finds success and love in Chicago radio, built on charm and the tension between authenticity and deception.
Honest and straightforward small-town Shirlee Kenyon chucks her boyfriend and heads for Chicago. Accidentally having to host a radio problem phone-in show, it is clear she is a natural and is hired on the spot. But the station insists she call herself Doctor, and as her popularity grows a local reporter starts digging for the truth. Problem is, the more he is around her the more he fancies her.
