Best Movie Scene About Radio and Television
It's been many years since I've seen it, but I was reminded the other day of a haunting scene in the 1990 Barry Levinson film "Avalon" that depicts the mid-century societal radio-to-TV shift better than just about anything.
As I remember it, a scene with a crowded sidewalk of Baltimore shoppers (the family in the film owns an appliance store) features a busy audio montage of iconic radio bits from the late 1940s Golden Age (Jack Benny, Burns & Allen, etc.). The camera slowly pans from the sidewalk to the appliance store window, where early TV personalities (Milton Berle, Lucille Ball) are visible on several screens. The radio sound fades out as the TV sound fades in. It's short, simple and poetic.
I've looked for this sequence on YouTube but have so far come up empty. If you find it someplace, please share a link via the Comment function below.
Broadcast media also features prominently in several other scenes in the film. On my list for 2011 is getting ahold of the DVD and listening to the "Director Commentary" track to see what further insight I can glean from the man who also directed "Good Morning, Vietnam." Stay tuned!
