Film Buffs Should Enjoy
Life in Hollywood, No. 1 (1927)
*** (out of 4)
LIFE IN Hollywood was a series produced in 1927 to give viewers a chance to see what all was going on in Hollywood. Of course, the naughty side was kept secret but this documentary series at least gives viewers of today some very interesting things to see.
Number one starts off giving us a glimpse of various studios throughout Hollywood including Metropolitan, Educational, Pickford-Fairbanks, Buster Keaton Studio, MGM, Warner, Cecil B. DeMille Studio, Universal City, M Fox and what remains of Inceville. Also on display here are some behind the scenes footage of movies being shot including Edwin Carewe and Lloyd Hughes working on PALS FIRST, Frances Ford in SAVAGES and Harmon Weight and Creighton Hale on a film credited as THE MYSTERY PILOT but I'm guessing it could be A POOR GIRL'S ROMANCE. Finally we see both Keaton and DeMille at work.
Technically speaking this episode is rather unimpressive but it's still great getting to see the studios as they looked back in the day but the biggest thrill is getting to see some footage of the movies being shot and especially when you consider that a couple of them are lost today. If you're a film buff this is certainly worth watching.
