Zach welcomes author and historian Lara Gabrielle (Captain of her Soul: The Life of Marion Davies) onto the Revue to review an actual revue as they dive into the creation and legacy of MGM's star fueled extravaganza, THE HOLLYWOOD REVUE OF 1929!

Settle in and listen as the two delve into the trajectories of actors moving from silent film two sound, journey with them on the trajectory of Marion Davies and Jack Benny and how they ended up in the film, marvel with them at the revelation of a grand exhibition format long forgotten, triumph with them as they dispel John Gilbert myths,and finally ponder with them over the many ways the film has created an impact in the years to come for the stars of the film.
