"The Next Voice You Hear" (1950) - stars James Whitmore (he played Brooks, the old librarian in "Shawshank Redemption") and Nancy Davis (better known as Nancy Reagan, wife of Ronald Reagan).

They're an average American couple living in suburbia in post WWII America. They have a 10 year old son who delivers newspapers to earn some extra money and they're expecting another baby. He drives an old car that needs work and she cuts coupons to save on their grocery bills. In other words they're EVERYDAY Americans.

One night their lives are changed forever. So are all the other Americans' lives. So are all the humans' lives on earth. God speaks to them on radio. This goes on for six nights in a row at the exact same time each night. I won't spoil anything by revealing what happens next.

Its a fascinating study of faith and our values. Its dated by today's standards but its definitely worth watching. It doesn't get played much on tv (I have a rare VHS copy) and its not been released on DVD so if you ever see it listed on your cable make sure to record it!!
