"Stand-In (1937) ... Leslie Howard ... Tay Garnett (Director) (2007)"
Par J. Lovins
United Artists presents "STAND-IN" (1937) (91 min/B&W) -- Starring Leslie Howard, Joan Blondell, Humphrey Bogart, Alan Mowbray & Marla SheltonDirected by Tay GarnettBookish bank employee Atterbury Dodd (Leslie Howard) is ordered to investigate the near-bankrupt Colossal Studios in Hollywood, to see if the firm is any sort of good risk. Dodd's first brush with Tinseltown's quite different atmosphere occurs when he takes a room in a boarding house for extras, where all manner of eccentrics wander about as they wait for the phone to ring. He befriends Lester Plum (Joan Blondell), a former child star now working as a stand-in for haughty movie queen Thelma Cheri (Marla Shelton), and perpetually soused producer Douglas Quintain (Humphrey Bogart). Aware that the latest epic of autocratic director Koslofski (Alan Mowbray) will ruin the studio, Howard investigates further, discovering that a rival company has bribed Koslofski to pad the budget and thus bring about the foreclosure of Colossal. While his business sense tells him that this is the next logical move, Dodd has fallen in love with Plum.Based on a Saturday Evening Post story by Clarence Buddington Kelland, this is a light-hearted satire of the movie industry which re-teams Leslie Howard & Humphrey Bogart after their riveting performances together in The Petrified Forest (1936).Humphrey Bogart turns in a likable supporting role as the mean movie producer. But there is an camaraderie between Howard and Blondell and the brief spoof on Shirley Temple are enough to make "Stand-In" thoroughly enjoyable.BIOS:1.
