About Polly of the Movies
A small town girl goes to Hollywood with ambitions of becoming major dramatic star. However, the melodrama she appears in is unintentionally amusing and becomes a comedy hit.
Directed by Scott Pembroke, Polly of the Movies leans on a strong ensemble — Gertrude Short, Jason Robards Sr., Mary Foy — 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 1927.
