A Hollywood Story

In cinema’s golden era of the 1970s, the members of the Dartmouth Film Society were enthralled by movies and movie lore. "A Hollywood Story” is their loving, if irreverent, tribute to that magical world. Directed by the late John Pruitt ’74, this hilarious and charming 16mm black-and-white film is a tale replete with references to the movie history that undergraduates had been taught by noted film distributor Arthur Mayer, and the tawdry tales overflowing Kenneth Anger’s book "Hollywood Babylon.”
