Merton Gill is longing to become a cowboy actor and leaves his hometown to try his luck in Hollywood, but there his acting ability is regarded as non-existent. Actress Flips gives him a chance in a bit part, but he fails in that; however, the way he fails makes her think that he could be a good comedian. She persuades the studio to put him in a western parody, not telling him what they're really planning, because they know that he does not like comedies. Rather than ending tragic-comically, the movie becomes a brilliant coda to art and its servants, the artists, in this case the magniloquent Joan Blondell and Stuart Erwin.

Movie Reviews
EmanuelLevy.Com - 9/10 by Emanuel LevyWhimsical and occasionally witty, this inside-Hollywood comedy benefits from its all star Paramount cast.

User Review - 6/10 by Michael TStuart Erwin remakes "Merton of the Movies."
