Show People (1928) King Vidor 78m
A small town girl (Marion Davies) tries to make it big in Hollywood in this uproarious comedy by the great King Vidor. Davies confirms her comic talent here and the film offers a lively glimpse behind the scenes of movie making. Some amusing guest star cameos include director Vidor, Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks and Norma Talmadge.
