Merton of the Movies
by George S Kaufman, Marc Connelly
Broadway
Synopsis
Merton Gill is a store clerk who dreams of being a movie star.
Too bad he can’t act.
Armed with only a striking resemblance to matinée idol Harold Parmalee (and no discernible talent), he’ll take on Hollywood.
In this classic Hollywood satire of the 1920s, star power is as close to impersonation as you can get.
Press Reviews
"The most amusing show of the season."
— Heywood Brown
