Jimmy Durante is jungle movie star Schnarzan the Conqueror, but the public is tiring of his fake lions. When Baron Munchausen comes to town with real man-eating lions, Durante throws him a big Hollywood star-studded party so that he might use the lions in his next movie. But, his film rival sneaks into the party to buy the lions before Durante.
Directed by Richard Boleslawski and Sam Wood and Charles Reisner and Roy Rowland and Russell Mack and George Stevens and Allan Dwan and Edmund Goulding

The MGM machine was so powerful that even with its slapdash direction from about ten different contributors and its general lack of notability there’s some real Hollywood magic all throughout this experience. They really did just kinda churn these out somehow
