A social commentary on people being neighborly. Hugo Haas is a former director who notices how people in his neighborhood are mean to one another. He proposes to shoot a movie (fake, of course), and the whole neighborhood comes together to be discovered. Billy Gilbert and Margaret Hamilton have wonderful scenes together, and Marie Windsor is a hoot as a would be glamour girl. William Schallert has a prominent role towards the end of the film. If you like this movie, then by all means watch "What's So Bad About Feeling Good?".
