big names in early hollywood
17 December 2018
Such a bucket of HUGE names.... Marion Davies, Lyle Talbot, and the awesome Patsy Kelly! Allen Jenkins and Lionel Stander. They are all quite young in this one. Davies and Kelly are hotel maids, who have adventures and escapades with the registered but non-paying guests, played by Pat O'Brien, Mary Astor, Frank McHugh. Dick Powell is the famous pilot, bringing medicine to sick babies. When he publicly proposes, it's up to the gang to produce the bride! It's mostly good... Davies really hams it up, as if she still needs to over-do it for the silent camera, but i'm sure some of that was by design. A caper! Directed by Mervyn LeRoy, who directed some biggies. It's good fun, and moves right along.
