Stars in their eyes – laughter in the aisles! Famed funnyman Stuart Erwin portrays smalltown hick and Hollywood hopeful Merton Gill in the comedic tale that was first a novel, a beloved (and periodically reprised) stage hit, and silent film. Erwin adds a wistful note to Merton’s Tinseltown dream in 1932’s Make Me a Star, including star cameos including then-current luminaries Tallulah Bankhead, Maurice Chevalier, Claudette Colbert, and Gary Cooper.
