1925 MGM Studio Tour (1925)
*** (out of 4)
Historically interesting short takes us on a behind the scenes tour of MGM where we see all the sets and everyone who is involved with the studio. When I say everyone I do mean it as we meet directors, writers, actors, editors, dancing girls and so on. The best thing about this short is that we see all sorts of talent together in one shot since all of the directors are shown together, all the actors shown together and so on. Howard Hawks is shown in the writers department but the directors here include Browning, von Sternberg, von Stroheim, Vidor, Wellman and countless others. The actors on hand include Novarro, Nagel, Gilbert, Busch, Shearer, Chaney and Crawford. Thalberg and Mayer are also shown. We also get to see Browning directing part of his film The Mystic. The film runs 30 minutes, which is a tad bit too long but it's still fun for film buffs.
