    • Trivia
      Filming was partially done in Maury City, TN. It's a very small town where many stores have long gone out of business. Dirt was trucked in to cover the parking area to better authenticate the look of the era.
    • Goofs
      The dialogue includes several modern expressions that wouldn't have been used in 1938, including "time frame" and "inappropriate" to mean an unwanted sexual advance from a man to a woman.

    Kind of a sweet & simple morality tale
    I was born and raised in New Jersey, so I am quite familiar with this Orson Welles' broadcasting event and even though it took place before I was born it is well known by me and probably everyone there. It's a true story, but it has a folklore feel to it. This little, sweet film barely covers the broadcast itself. It show the effects on the population in another small nearby town in a comedic way. It's well shot, well acted by all and while it's nothing special, it is a nice little movie showing what something like this can bring out in people, both good and bad. Humans can be silly things. Tony Hale of "Veep" fame is the lead and he is good, but like I said, so is everyone. There's a humorous running gag about a Polish boy who is in this a lot without a single word of dialogue. He seems more sane than many of the New Jersians shown here.
