Louis Lewyn produced and directed this "look at the stars" short for MGMN. He had been doing this sort of work since 1920, starting out with Columbia's SCREEN SNAPSHOTS. Now he was doing this for MGM, so money was spent, including springing for Technicolor. THe print that runs on Turner Classic Movies is not among their best; the elements show imperfect matches, a problem with early three-strip, caused by the three separate elements, each carrying a different color, shrinking at microscopically different rates.
However, while the color isn't the best, people looked at these movies to see the stars out of their usual movie roles. Listeneing to Leo Carillo speak as the elegant, educated man he actually was is a particular treat.
