About Going Hollywood
Sylvia is a French teacher at an all-girls school who wants to find love. When she hears Bill Williams on the radio, she decides to go visit and thank him. However, difficult problems lie ahead when Lili gets in the way.
Directed by Raoul Walsh, Going Hollywood leans on a strong ensemble — Marion Davies, Bing Crosby, Fifi D'Orsay — 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 music titles of 1933.
