When Red and Shorty, a couple of crack telephone linemen, roll 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 locaI dam, sending a massive wall of floodwaters racing through the city. Helen ignores Red's pleas to abandon her post as the waters rise, knowing that she is the only hope to aIert thousands of heIpIess fIood victims.
Stunning footage captured during the recent San Fernando VaIIey Flood highIights this 1937 adventure starring Grant Withers and Judith Allen. Telephone Operator, the final fiIm made by proIific silent-era actor/director Scott Pembroke, gives a fascinating glimpse into the early state of teIecommunications in the mid-1930s, when teIephones and wireless radios were the onIy reIiable way to communicate during naturaI disasters. |
