In 1950's Hollywood the world is run by the movie makers. Everyone that is in a movie is under contract with a studio and the people who run them. Howard Hughes is one such person and he is also one of the most sought after directors that actresses want to work for. One young, lucky actress does land a contract with Mr. Hughes and that is Marla Mabrey. If you are not under contract as an actor with Mr. Hughes you still want to work for one of the richest an most influential people in Hollywood and Frank Forbes in one such fortunate man, with big ideas, is currently doing, as his driver. With both of them getting a taste of the high life and glamour of the golden age of Hollywood they meet and star a lovely friendship that leads both of them in unexpected realties. While, walking a forbidden fine line between friendship and relationship Frank and Marla try to find success in their own dreams without the ever watchful Howard Hughes controlling every aspect of their lives.

The Hollywood that we know today and not the Hollywood that has always been. Watching a falling in love with old movies leads you to eventually learn the history of Hollywood. This is probably the most accurate telling of a story about that aspect of Hollywood I have seen in a movie. The fact that the actors and actresses were contracted to studios and couldn't really pick where and what movie they could really play in was different then what we see now. So, showing that side of Hollywood really helped the story as a whole. The movie all around was brilliant! It was dazzling, and wondrous. Everyone in this film was perfect for their roles, and really blended well with each other. It made me envious the fun they seemed to be having on the screen. It was a very original film and concept. Warren Beatty did a fantastic job at writing, directing and starring in this film. He is the very definition of what it means to be a triple threat. This film is one of the top recommendation list of this year.
