Once In A Lifetime

Synopsis

"This is a knockabout satiric tale of three on-the-skids vaudeville troupers -- Jerry, Mae, and George -- who decide to head for Hollywood and try their luck at the newest craze: "talkies."

After a hilarious series of consistent blunders, the unassuming George is carried to fame and fortune becoming (for a short time, at least) a captain of The Industry.

This fast-paced, wild romp offers marvelous character opportunities, while spoofing the absurdities of Tinsel Town.
