Crashing Hollywood (1931 film)

Crashing Hollywood is a 1931 American pre-Code comedy film directed by Fatty Arbuckle (under the pseudonym "William Goodrich") and starring Wheeler & Woolsey. The film satirizes the movie industry and the ambitions of those seeking fame and fortune within it. Plot details involve the duo, Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey, getting involved in various chaotic situations while attempting to break into the film business. Although primarily a comedy, Crashing Hollywood offered a glimpse into the often-absurd realities and fleeting nature of success in early Hollywood. The film is notable for being one of the last projects directed by Arbuckle, whose career was significantly impacted by scandal in the early 1920s. The film has been preserved and is available for viewing.
