The story of a young woman fleeing her to be husband she doesn't love on her wedding night & and finding her deserted in the wilderness but actually stumbles upon a Hollywood Set. A very unsubtle attempt to clean up the view of Hollywood & the most interesting parts of the film is when she visits real films being made at the time by Charlie Chaplin & Eric Von Stronheim. It's fun & easy watching & amazing how sincere & genuine they portrayed Hollywood... why don't I believe it ;).
