Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Show People is a 1928 silent film directed by King Vidor.The film is a lighthearted comic satire of Hollywood movie making at the end of the silent film era. Marion Davies stars as Peggy Pepper, a wide-eyed innocent Georgia hillbilly who comes to Hollywood to make it big as a dramatic actress. Instead, by chance, she winds up starring in slapstick comedies. She falls in love with her co-star Billy Boone, played by William Haines, but when she gets her big break and makes the transition to drama, their romance is threatened.When analysts of Citizen Kane talk about how the real Marion Davies was actually a gifted comic actress, this is the film they're most likely to mention. | |
