Review

 

The Matinee Idol: When Ginger Bolivar's amateur stock company is invited to join superstar Don Wilson's Broadway review, little does Ginger (Bessie Love) know that recently hired bit-part actor Harry Mann (Johnny Walker) and Don are one of the same. Don, you see, believes the oh-so serious Bolivar Players are oh-so unintentionally funny, and has brought them to the Big Apple as a comedy act. But when "Harry" falls for Ginger, Don soon learns that humiliating the woman he loves would be no laughing matter.



Frank Capra's American Dream: Go behind the scenes into Hollywood legend Frank Capra's professional and family life with rare footage, stills and sequences from many of his films and an exclusive look into his personal home movie collection.
