Country: US
Technical: bw 76m
Director: Roy del Ruth

Synopsis:
A mobster lies low for a while by gaining employment as an extra in Hollywood, but winds up a star in movies not unlike his own life story.
Review:
Of obvious historical importance for its view of Hollywood filmmaking, though only on the lightest of levels, this irrepressible comedy features Cagney at the peak of his form.
