Storyline
Ken Murray rolls into Hollywood back in 1927, basically a nobody from Kingston, New York, but with a sharp eye and a 16mm camera instead of the usual tourist postcards. Instead of gawking, he gets busy filming all these stars—half of whom he doesn’t even know yet. He sends this stuff back home, probably blowing his family’s mind. Decades later, he stitches together all this random, candid footage into a wild montage, mixing in some slick, professional clips his now-famous Hollywood buddies throw his way. The scenes jump from movie sets, to streets, to the stars’ actual homes—yeah, you see them goofing off, just hanging out, not just acting for the camera. Some faces are legends already, others just on the brink of blowing up. Murray himself is running the commentary, spinning tales about the people and the weird, funny, or downright bizarre stuff happening on screen. It’s like a time machine into old-school Hollywood, but way more personal and real than anything scripted.
