Clever, overlooked Hollywood satire from the quirky Tay Garnett.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
There's some very funny clowning at the expense of Shirley Temple prodigies, Hollywood boarding-houses, and glamorous stars.

Inane spoof on Hollywood, deteriorates in the second half to drivel.

Product Description:
A conservative banker takes over a movie studio, and the directors, producers, and actors forced to work under him rebel. Bogart is featured in an unusual comedy role.
Plot Synopsis:
Straight-arrow, bespectacled New York banker Atterbury Dodd is sent to Hollywood to rescue movie studio Colossal Films from financial ruin. The problem is, Dodd knows nothing about the film business! He does, however, gets a first-hand look at Hollywood's wackiness, as he shares accommodations with a trained seal, an obsessive actor... and a penguin. Meanwhile, he learns a lot about showbiz thanks to his encounters with the dysfunctional personalities he meets at Colossal -- who exemplify why the studio is in such trouble.
