Fast and snappy spoof, 10 December 1999
Author: Robert Keser (rfkeser@ix.netcom.com) from Chicago, IL

Fast and snappy spoof of the studio system from the bottom looking up, as stand-in Joan Blondell guides a newcomer to "who's through in Hollywood". Bogart has a good supporting role as a boozing producer who has to salvage an unwatchable gorilla epic. Not a classic, but very enjoyable for its energy.
