The Stand-In

Behind The Scenes At Hollywood's Nuttiest Studio!

It's "Lights ...Camera...Chaos!"

As Humphrey Bogart, Joan Blondell and Leslie Howard turn Hollywood on its ear in this screwball satire of tinseltown at the height of its golden age glory days.

Bookish New York bank employee Atterbury Dodd (Leslie Howard) is dispatched to Hollywood to assess the finances of the floundering Colossal Studios where he gets a crash course in the wild and wacky ways of showbiz from a stunning stand-in (Joan Blondell) and a seldom-sober film producer (Humphrey Bogart).

When he uncovers a plot to sabotage one of Colossal's big budget film productions, Dodd must spring into action. But can he go from a timid banker to Hollywood mogul, sweep the girl off her feet, stage a studio revolt and save Colossal from the schemes of a swaggering director and prima donna leading lady? Dim the lights and get the popcorn ready for this hilarious look behind the cameras and bright lights of the dream factory.
