Windy Riley Goes Hollywood (1931)

** (out of 4)

Rather forgettable but I guess historically interesting short, which features Louise Brooks just after being kicked out of Hollywood. This was also directed by Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle who was working under a fake name. A cigar chomping idiot (Jack Shutta) takes a trip to San Fran but ends up in Hollywood where he gets work trying to resurrect the career of a fallen star (Louise Brooks). This short features only two laughs but it remains mildly entertaining due to Brooks in her first talky. Paramount ruined her career by saying she couldn't do talkies due to a bad voice but she sounded fine here. She certainly brought a lot more energy than this film deserved.
