Hollywood My Home Town (The Film Detective Restored Version)

This fascinating compilation of footage comes from the personal collection of actor Ken Murray, who arrived in Hollywood in 1927, bought himself a 16mm camera, and started shooting the people around him. Here, he gathers the footage together for one heck of a tribute to his adopted hometown. Charlie Chaplin, Ward Bond, John Barrymore, Pat Boone, Lew Ayres, Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Astor, and many others appear. Music is provided by Oscar winner George Stoll (Anchors Aweigh, Meet Me In St Louis).
