but nobody
makes a movie outside a studio.
Sure, some Hollywood insiders
over at the brown derby 
May be laughing...
Reporter 6:
And now, ladies and gentlemen,
I think...
Yes, yes, I can just see
Mr. Hughes' car arriving now.
Mr. Hughes escorts the lovely
starlet Jean Harlow tonight.
He discovered her
for this picture,
And we think
her platinum-blond locks
And hot-jazz, baby-doll style
are gonna make her a big star.
[bulbs popping, clinking]
[crowd cheering]
Howard! Howard!
Man:
Over here!
Mr. Hughes!
This way, boss.
[over pa]
Mr. Hughes,
how about a word?
Big night for you,
Mr. Hughes.
Big night
for you tonight.
Very big. Very big.
Tell us what it was like
making this fabulous picture.
Yes.
Uh, yeah.
So four million clams
from your own pocket.
Nervous how the flick
will fly?
Big night.
You enjoy the show.
Yes, well,
Let me present the feminine
star of this spectacle,
Hell's angels,
Miss Jean Harlow.
Thank you.
I would like to use
this occasion
To publicly thank
Mr. Hughes
For the opportunity
he gave me.
Thank you.
Thank you!
Oh, and now I'd like to ask
Roscoe Arbuckle
To introduce
his pet lion cub, Gilmore.
What the hell's
the matter with you?
Can't remember my name?
Oh, I'm sorry.
Roscoe turner.
And this would be Gilmore.
[bold, dashing theme playing]
[automatic gunfire]
[shouts]
It's going!
It's going!
Murder!
That's what this dirty, rotten
politician war is, murder!
You know it as well as I do.
[bold theme ends]
[audience applauding]
[giggles]
Stand up, slim, take a bow.
[audience cheering]
And reel four played
way too long, too many coughs.
Get Harry and the team
outta the party,
Get 'em over to the office.
I wanna cut a few shots tonight.
Oh, find Glenn Odekirk.
Somebody write this down.
"flush rivets,"
you got that?
Flush rivets.
Flush rivets.
Lickety-split, boss.
Man:
Here he is! Here he is!
[crowd cheering]
Man: Variety says,
"this one won't miss!"
Man 2: New York herald tribune,
"magnificently photographed!"
Man 3: Thrilling!
Awesome beyond description!
Man 4:
The most extraordinary output
Ever to emerge from
a motion-picture studio.
Man 5: Not for a long time have
I seen anything as enthralling.
Man 6:
A sensational success.
Man 7:
It costs 4 million dollars,
And it has 4 million thrills!
Man 8:
Majestically...
Man 9:
Most epic picture of its kind.

%% and thanks
for unforgettable nights %%
%% I never can replace %%

I don't want
to look like Boris Karloff.
If you know
what I mean.
I, uh, read in the magazines
that you play golf.
On occasion.
Well, how about
nine holes?
Now, Mr. Hughes?
If it would be convenient,
miss Hepburn.
[%%]
You're not extending enough
on your follow-through.
Follow-through is everything
in golf, just like life.
Ha-ha-ha!
Don't you find?
[chuckles]
Saw your
Scarface picture.
Violent.
Realistic.
Movies are movies,
Howard. Not life.
Now, the stage,
The stage is real.
Real flesh-and-blood
human beings
Right out there
in front of you, buster.
Can't
