GOING HOLLYWOOD (1933) ¢ ¢ ¢
D: Raoul Walsh
Marion Davies, Bing Crosby, Fifi D'Orsay,

William Randolph Hearst's girlfriend plays a French teacher who quits her job and follows a radio crooner to Hollywood where he's scheduled to make a movie. Bing sings "Temptation", the title tune and a few other things, Marion gets a musical number or two, and Patsy Kelly makes the most of her first feature film role as Marion's Hollywood pal. Surprise highlight: a group called the Radio Rogues, whose vocal impressions include Kate Smith and Crosby rivals Russ Columbo and Rudy Vallee.
