Remote Control

About This Movie

Remote Control, directed by Edward Sedgwick, is a fascinating blend of comedy and drama that captures the quirky spirit of the early 1930s. It features a radio announcer who gets twisted up with a charlatan clairvoyant and his band of thieves, creating a lively atmosphere filled with oddball characters and humorous situations. The pacing is a bit uneven, which adds to its charm, as the film shifts from light-hearted antics to moments of genuine tension. The performances have that classic early sound film energy, with actors really playing into the absurdity of the narrative. It’s interesting to see how it reflects the era's fascination with radio and the supernatural, while also being a commentary on deception and belief.

Interesting early talkie with a distinctive blend of comedy and drama.Notable for its exploration of radio culture and deception.Good example of Edward Sedgwick's directorial style in the early 30s.
