TCM frequently runs a Pete Smith Specialty called RADIO HAMS on its One
Reel Wonders segment. Smith produced these one and sometimes two reelers for
theatres in the 50s. Some were very funny, others just plain camp. The
theatres would run these before features. They were called one reelers because
they were usually on a single reel which had a maximum of 20 minutes of
35mm film.
Here is a ling to the Pete Smith Speciality:
