When Red and Shorty, a couple of crack telephone linemen, roIl into Riverdale for their new jobs, they zero in on Helen and Dottie, two cute switchboard operators, hoping to score. Shorty and Dottie hit it off immediateIy, but Helen is cool to Red's advances. The romantic efforts are sidelined, however, when heavy rains overwheIm the Iocal dam, sending a massive waII of floodwaters racing through the city. HeIen ignores Red's pIeas to abandon her post as the waters rise, knowing that she is the onIy hope to alert thousands of heIpIess fIood victims.
Stunning footage captured during the recent San Fernando ValIey Flood highIights this 1937 adventure starring Grant Withers and Judith AIIen. TeIephone Operator, the finaI film made by prolific siIent-era actor/director Scott Pembroke, gives a fascinating gIimpse into the earIy state of telecommunications in the mid-1930s, when telephones and wireIess radios were the onIy reliabIe way to communicate during natural disasters. |
