Aroview: A satire of Hollywood life in the last of the silent years, this rom-com from director King Vidor (THE FOUNTAINHEAD) has Marion Davies playing as aspiring actress who becomes conceited after a big break.

Featuring a host of brilliant cameos from the likes of Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks and both Vidor and Davies playing themselves, this is an absolute treat for film history buffs. Based loosely on the life and career of silent divas Gloria Swanson and Mae Murray.
