Radio Stories

Radio Stories (Spanish:Historias de la radio) is a 1955 Spanish comedy film composed by three episodes directed by José Luis Sáenz de Heredia.

A decade later the director returned to the theme with his Television Stories which updated the plot, but was less successful.

[1] As a tribute to the importance of radio in the mid-20th century, three stories are told whose central axis is the listeners: some contestants who for 3,000 pesetas have to come to the studio dressed as an Eskimo, a thief who answers a call from a phone in the house where he is stealing and a school teacher who participates in a contest to get money to cure a child in his town.

The copla singer Gracia Montes appears in the film singing a popular song from Andalusia: La Romera.

Other celebrities of the time that appear in the film are the bullfighter Rafael Gómez Ortega 'el Gallo' and the soccer player Luis Molowny.
