Apparently, Tashlin was a little confused about Paramount's production schedule: Malcolm mentions having seen the Burt Lancaster adaptation of The Rainmaker, which would not come out until after Hollywood or Bust was already released. See more »Quotes
Malcolm Smith: But remember, I'd have never known about the phony ticket or the stealing if you didn't tell me, which means you're very noble. You're as noble as Abraham Lincoln or Raymond Massey.See more »
Oh, poor little film, only three user comments! I'll scribble something for self-amusement, so, uh... You might as well skip this.
The film is indeed highly enjoyable.
Some of the bits are stupid, borderline-infantile in fact, but that matters not.
The movie buff element could've been emphasized more.
I need to see more Tashlin. Nice cartooniness again, though the look of "Artists and Models" is even sweller. In fact, it's better overall.
The songs, in something of a surprise, are great!
The dialogue sparkles at times, which I appreciate much.
What, that's it?
