Twentieth Century-Fox Film
Directed by Gene Wilder
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, Fox)
Frustrated baker Gene Wilder goes to Hollywood with his wife Carol Kane in search of stardom. Movie mogul Dom DeLuise is looking for the next Rudolph Valentino for his struggling studio. His casting call draws thousands of wannabes for a screen test. Meanwhile, his wife goes in search of the real Valentino, leaving Wilder alone to figure out how to win her back. Good spoof of 1920s Hollywood and even manages to capture some of the period feel. Feels more like a Mel Brooks movie, but Wilder is the whole show, he directed, wrote and stars.
