    A forgotten Film but for those who are into the early days of hollywood
    Yes This film is forgettable. In Fact I barley saw this a few days ago and I already forgot what it was about or the story. I know its about two hollywood extras trying to make it in hollywood. I did see a familiar face in the film and that was Beryl Mercer who played the older mother in such films as the public enemy (1931) all quiet in the western front (1930) and she also stared in the film with Shirley temple. One thing i do remember of this film was its beach scenes as they looked beautiful to look at as the ocean waves would hit the shore. This film is for pre code fans and people who love old hollywood and this period where they transitioned to sound.
