Show People - Vidor, 1928

I'm a huge King Vidor fan, and while this certainly isn't his best film, it is very interesting and a must-see for movie buffs. There are plenty of great cameos here, including Vidor and Davies themselves. This is your basic "Star is Born" plot, but the inside look at the movie studio world is just great.

This is probably Marion Davies best film and there is plenty of irony here, as there are parallel's with her real career. A 7 rating.
