Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Souls for Sale is a 1923 film written and directed by Rupert Hughes. Eleanor Boardman stars as Remember "Mem" Steddon, a small-town girl who has just married Owen Scudder (Lew Cody) after a whirlwind courtship. However, while they are on the train headed for Los Angeles for their honeymoon, Mem suddenly has second thoughts about her mysterious new husband. She jumps off the train when it stops for water. Mem finds herself in desperate straits in the middle of the Mojave Desert, until she spies some wagon tracks and follows them to—a movie production that is filming an Arab sheik movie.Eventually Mem gets hired in Hollywood and her fame grows. Two different actors in Mem's company fall in love with her. Meanwhile, it turns out she was right to trust her instincts about Scudder: he is a Serial Killer who marries women, takes out insurance policies on them, and then murders them. Scudder is caught by the cops but escapes. While on the lam in Egypt, he sees one of Mem's movies, and decides to find her in Los Angeles.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Souls for Sale combines an intentionally goofy, melodramatic plot with a backstage portrait of Hollywood moviemaking circa 1923. Roger Ebert put it on his Great Movies List. | |

The Cameo | |
Souls for Sale / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: Lots of cameos from stars and directors. One memorable sequence comes when Mem arrives in Hollywood and starts looking for work, wandering onto four film sets where real movies were being filmed. Two of the films that Mem visit, The Eternal Three and The Famous Mrs. Fair, are lost, so the brief behind-the-scenes footage here all that survives of them. The other two film sets Mem visits are A Woman of Paris, in which Charlie Chaplin himself directs her in a scene where she struggles to ride a horse (not a real scene in Chaplin's movie), and Erich von Stroheim's masterpiece Greed. Von Stroheim is shown directing Jean Hersholt in a scene. Mem doesn't get a part. | |
