Hollywood Boulevard (1936 film)

Hollywood Boulevard (1936) is a comedy film directed by Robert Florey and released by Paramount Pictures.

Plot
Has-been actor John Blakeford agrees to write his memoirs for magazine publisher Jordan Winston.

When Blakeford's daughter, Patricia, asks him to desist for the sake of his ex-wife, Carlotta Blakeford, he attempts to break his contract with Winston.

Production
The casting was announced in June 1936. Many former silent era actors had small roles.

Reception
Frank Nugent of The New York Times was critical of the film: "It is, as you may judge, a pretty hoary melodrama and [a] slight enough excuse for a whole series of homilies upon the uncertainty of fame and fortune in the glamour city."
