About Stand-In
An east coast efficiency expert, who stakes his reputation on his ability to turn around a financially troubled Hollywood studio, receives some help from a former child star who now works as a stand-in for the studio.
Directed by Tay Garnett, Stand-In leans on a strong ensemble — Leslie Howard, Joan Blondell, Humphrey Bogart — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1937.
