Synopsis: | It's Christmas Eve, 1954, and the cast of Wally K's Variety Hour is about to perform their final radio show. Star Joey Preston is leaving Chicago to reprise his role in the radio show's most popular segment on TV in New York. But Joanna, Joey's love interest both on and off the set, won't be joining him due to the racial prejudices of the TV show's producers. Meanwhile cast members Wally and Izzy are still grieving the tragic death of Larry, his best friend and her fiance, three years before. Classic songs, heartfelt love stories, and the charm of old-fashioned radio combine in this wintertime comedy full of warmth and cheer. | |||||
