The Golden Age of Radio "DICK TRACY"
The intention of this lens and others I propose is to bring awareness to the almost forgotten media of American theatrical radio. To bring something old and new, in this technological age, to those who pass by and take the opportunity to listen to a media that has seen better days in the United States. The Old Time Radio Flier intends to show the quality, quantity and variety of programmes produced during the very short period known as "The Golden Age Of Radio". To give an understanding of the history of what is known today as "Old Time Radio".

- I liked the movie way back in 1990, but I haven't seen it since then. Nice song by the Ventures (the theme song for the pilot). I'm willing to bet they'll make another Dick Tracy movie sometime soon. The character has been out of the spotlight for some time. Great work!
