What Price Hollywood? is a 1932 American pre-Code drama film directed by George Cukor and starring Constance Bennett with Lowell Sherman.
The screenplay by Gene Fowler, Rowland Brown, Jane Murfin, and Ben Markson, is based on a story by Adela Rogers St. Johns and Louis Stevens.
George Cukor
George Dewey Cukor( July 7, 1899 – January 24, 1983) was an American film director.
He mainly concentrated on comedies and literary adaptations.
His career flourished at RKO when David O. Selznick, the studio's Head of Production, assigned Cukor to direct several of RKO's major films, including" What Price Hollywood?"( 1932)," A Bill of Divorcement"( 1932)," Our Betters"( 1933), and" Little Women"( 1933).
When Selznick moved to MGM in 1933, Cukor followed and directed" Dinner at Eight"( 1933) and" David Copperfield"( 1935) for Selznick and" Romeo and Juliet"( 1936) and" Camille"( 1936) for Irving Thalberg.
He was replaced as the director of" Gone with the Wind"( 1939), but he went on to direct" The Philadelphia Story"( 1940)," Gaslight"( 1944)," Adam's Rib"( 1949)," Born Yesterday"( 1950)," A Star Is Born"( 1954)," Bhowani Junction"( 1956), and won the Academy Award for Best Director for" My Fair Lady"( 1964).
He continued to work into the 1980s.
Taxi!
Taxi! is a 1932 American pre-Code gangster film directed by Roy Del Ruth and starring James Cagney and Loretta Young.
The film includes two famous Cagney dialogues, one of which features Cagney conducting a conversation with a passenger in Yiddish, and the other when Cagney is speaking to his brother's killer through a locked closet, Come out and take it, you dirty yellow- bellied rat, or I'll give it to you through the door!
The provenance of this sequence led to Cagney being famously misquoted as saying, You dirty rat, you killed my brother.
To play his competitor in a ballroom dance contest, Cagney recommended his pal, fellow tough- guy- dancer George Raft, who was uncredited in the film.
In a lengthy and memorable sequence, the scene culminates with Raft and his partner winning the dance contest against Cagney and Young, after which Cagney slugs Raft and knocks him down.
As in" The Public Enemy"( 1931), several scenes in" Taxi!" involved the use of live machine gun bullets.
After a few of the bullets narrowly missed Cagney's head, he outlawed the practice in his future films.
In the film they see a fictitious Warner Bros.
movie at the cinema called" Her Hour of Love" in which Cagney cracks a joke about the film's leading man's appearance( an unbilled cameo by Warners contract player Donald Cook, who had played Cagney's brother in" The Public Enemy") saying," his ears are too big".
Also advertised in the cinema lobby in the film is" The Mad Genius", an actual film starring John Barrymore which was released the previous year by Warners and is a plug by them.
