Radio Broadcaster: [First lines] You have been listening to the Voice of Hollywood. That enchanted town. Here is the place where adventure came riding in on the magic rug and spilled its magic on those below. Where else can fame spread her wings so fast? The youth today is a star tomorrow. All is gay!

Featured review
Harold goes to Hollywood
Harold Hall is a man who desperately wants to be an actor.Soon he is off to Hollywood.They are expecting somebody who doesn't look anything like Harold, because he accidentally sent a wrong photo.In Hollywood Harold causes lots of trouble and falls in love to an actress named Mary Sears.Movie Crazy is a hilarious comedy from 1932.Harold Lloyd shows that he wasn't the master of silent movies only, he could handle talkies too.He runs from a funny situation to another.Constance Cummings is brilliant as Mary.She does her job just as good as Harold does.This movie made me laugh many times.If a comedy movie does that, then that's a good comedy.
