Straight Talk (1992)

April 19, 2022 4:56 PM

Honest and straightforward small-town Shirlee Kenyon chucks her boyfriend and heads for Chicago. Accidentally having to host a radio problem phone-in show, it is clear she is a natural and is hired on the spot. But the station insists she call herself Doctor, and as her popularity grows a local reporter starts digging for the truth. Problem is, the more he is around her the more he fancies her.

Another one of my feel good movies. One of my favorite parts is when Dolly is operating the switchboard and says something like “and you should feel lucky, all the other ones got cut off!” :)
