What Is The Talk of Hollywood About?
The premise of The Talk of Hollywood without spoilers.
Schlock‑movie producer J. Pierpont Ginsburg, after declaring in a Yiddish accent that “talking pictures are in their infantry,” puts all his savings into a big‑budget musical starring Paris sensation Adore Renee and swishy leading man Reginald Whitlock. His daughter Judy falls for his Gentile lawyer John Applegate, and a careless projectionist swaps the sound‑disc reels, causing images, dialogue and effects to fall out of sync during a screening for prospective buyers and exhibitors, jeopardizing his gamble.
