Radio review - Lux - "Wake Up and Live" (1943) **1/2

A very young and awkward Frank Sinatra is cast as a very young and awkward page at a radio station (shades of Kenneth from 30 Rock!) who actually has a great singing voice but is scared of the microphone. A girl gets him to sing into a mike that he thinks is dead but actually people hear it and he becomes a star - sort of like the Phantom of the Opera. There are also plots about a columnist and producer. Aimiable, dim entertainment with some famous tunes such as 'Embraceable You' a'nd 'Dancing in the Dark. At the end spiel Frank talks about his new son. Bob Crosby (Bing's brother) and Marilyn Maxwell co-star.
