I don't know the name of it, but one of the old Mickey Rooney movies from
the 40's had a very prominent display of ham radio with a big rack and panel
transmitter, etc. Was it Boy's Town? Anyway, those were the days!!

Subject: [AMRadio] Ham Radio in a Boatanchor Movie - "Grand Jury Secrets."
While looking through a stack of old "Radio" magazines I ran across an
article
in the Dec 1939 issue.
The article described how ham radio was prominently featured in a
Paramount
studios movie called "Grand Jury Secrets."
A few of the seens shown in the magazine show some impressive
transitters -
albeit props.
One of those films that has been lost to time.
Here is a review :

Any one know where to find a copy of the film?
