Marion Davies will forever be remembered as the mistress of newspaper czar William Randolph Hearst. Spotting the Brooklyn blonde in Ziegfeld's Follies, the media mogul took her home to his mansion-then spent a fortune trying to mold her into his vision of a movie star. The problem was that Hearst saw her as the virginal heroine of costume dramas hated by the public, when everyone knew her real talent was a gutsy, cheerful comedienne. Director: King Vidor. Actors: Marion Davies, William Haines. Black and white. Country: US. No subtitles.
