The Story of Alexander Graham Bell

You'll want to pick up on Don Ameche in the role he'd become most identified with, portraying the Scottish émigré instructor to the deaf who never lost faith in his oft-ridiculed notion of transmitting the human voice by wire. Enjoyable (if very Hollywoodized) biopic co-stars Loretta Young, Henry Fonda, Charles Coburn, Gene Lockhart (none of whom phoned it in). 98 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
