Merton of the Movies

RED SKELTON'S HOWLING HIT ABOUT HOLLYWOOD!

In 1915, Kansas theater usher Merton Gill is a devoted silent-movie fan. When he imitates star Lawrence Rupert's heroics and brings Mammoth Studios free publicity, they invite him to Hollywood for another headline, leading him to believe he'll get a movie contract. Disillusioned, he spends time in casting offices, where he meets and is consoled by Phyllis Montague, a bit player and stuntwoman. When Merton finally gets his break, it's not quite what he envisioned.
