Millholland"; about a legendary Broadway director who takes a simple girl and makes her a huge star, and then becomes obsessed with her; surely one of the greatest of all movies ever made, comedy or otherwise!) starring John Barrymore (as Oscar Jaffe), Carole Lombard (as Lily Garland aka Mildred Plotka), Walter Connolly, Roscoe Karns, Ralph Forbes, Charles Lane, and Etienne Girardot (as the fake rich man who goes around giving out "fortunes"). Note that Charles Bruce Millholland, who was an assistant to legendary Broadway producer David Belasco, wrote a play parodying Belasco, which he could not get performed (perhaps because people were afraid of Belasco). In 1934, it was used as the basis for this classic movie. This is one of those rare movies that everyone agrees is a masterpiece, surely one of the finest romantic comedies ever created and many say it is one of the handful of finest movies of any kind, period! This is not that surprising, considering that many of the greatest talents of classic Hollywood came together to create this! From legendary director Howard Hawks, to the superb screenwriting team of Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur, and the acting talents of the amazing John Barrymore and Carole Lombard, everything in this screwball romantic comedy "works" to perfection!
