Young and Beautiful

The Plot. Bob Preston, publicity man for Superba Pictures, uses his publicity skills in an attempt to make this fiancée June Dale the most famous movie star in the world. But in doing so, he forgets that women want to be attended to for themselves, not as objects of fame.

I was looking forward to seeing this picture giving the stellar reviews. Unfortunately it's actually a poor excuse for a movie. Starring a bunch of unknowns, made by an unknown studio and directed by a largely unknown director whose only claim to fame that I can tell was co-directing The Marx Brother's Coconuts 5 years earlier.

Groucho said he didn't understand comedy.

It's a strange movie where in one musical number people where masks of famous Hollywood stars like Keaton and Gable and Chaplin.

It just never really comes together. It's not horrible, but it's not really interesting enough to recommend.
