Having won a beauty contest, she's invited to travel west for a film test. Both Izzie Cohen and the Murphy menfolk are soon in hot pursuit, having belatedly realized that (according to a lurid tell-all book) Tinsel Town is the ruin of many a virtuous maiden. When they arrive, Lizzie is already starring in a movie and the wide-eyed family folk are fast wreaking havoc on the lot at "Paramet Studio." The gimmick of clashing Irish and Jewish stereotypes was a popular one for decades, most famously in long-running Broadway plays like ABIE'S IRISH ROSE and films like many-sequel-ed THE COHENS AND THE KELLYS. - Dennis Harvey See less
