Hollywood Story (1951) American Mystery Film / Richard Conte, Julia Adams, Richard Egan

Hollywood Story is a 1951 American mystery film directed by William Castle and starring Richard Conte and Julia Adams. The supporting cast features Richard Egan, Henry Hull, Fred Clark and Jim Backus. The film was an attempt by Universal Pictures to take advantage of the success of Paramount's Sunset Boulevard which was released the previous year. Film historian Arthur Lyons stated that the plot is based on the murder of silent movie director William Desmond Taylor. While Hollywood Story reaches a fictional conclusion, it closely follows the circumstances of the real-life event. On the film's release, Universal promoted the appearances in it of several once-famous silent screen celebrities. It came to light that those with speaking parts had received just $55 per shooting day ($666 in 2024 dollars ). Others, like Elmo Lincoln, the first screen Tarzan, appeared as non-speaking extras and received only $15 per day ($182 in 2024 dollars ). Plot: New York theatrical producer Larry O'Brien (Conte) plans to found a motion picture company in Hollywood. He buys an old studio which has remained unused since the days of silent movies. There he's shown the office where a famous director was murdered twenty years earlier. Although there were many suspects the case hasn't been solved. O'Brien becomes fascinated by the subject and decides to make a film based on the case. To this end he begins interviewing the surviving participants, hiring many to work on and in the film, and soon gets into danger himself.
