The Next Voice You Hear...

The Next Voice You Hear...

The Next Voice You Hear... is a 1950 drama film in which a voice claiming to be that of God preempts all radio programs for days all over the world. It stars James Whitmore and Nancy Davis (who later became Nancy Reagan) as Joe and Mary Smith, a typical American couple. It was based on a short story of the same name by George Sumner Albee. The voice is never heard by the (film) audience. The six messages (one for each day, Tuesday through Sunday) God speaks on the radio are read aloud, for benefit of the film audience, by different characters in the film. The production of the film, from script stage to screen, was extensively covered as the subject of producer Dore Schary's 1950 book (with Charles Palmer) Case History of a Movie.

Joe Smith, American:
You remember what the voice said last night? That we should all do our homework for tomorrow? Well, let's take a look at the things that God told us to look at. Let's just see how great his miracles really are. There's the moon. The stars. It's the air we breathe. The earth we walk on. It's the trees. It's the hills. And it's things like loving each other. The way I love you and the way Mom loves us. It's all those wonderful things, Johnny. The way I love you and you love me, we got nothing to worry about. Nothing to be afraid of. And most of all, we must never be afraid of God. Because God is the whole world. We're living, Johnny. You and Mom and me. Mr. Brannan. All of us. We're living. So let's make it count.

Joe Smith, American:
Would Eddie Boyle's voice sound like God?

Johnny Smith:
I don't know. I never heard God.

Joe Smith, American:
[to Johnny] Johnny, how many times have I told you? Don't do like I do; do like I say.
