Alice in Movieland (1940)
In una città degli Stati Uniti che potrebbe essere ovunque, la diciottenne Alice Purdee vince un viaggio gratuito a Hollywood. Con l'aiuto di un allegro facchino, prende il treno notturno e sogna il suo arrivo. Invece di un successo immediato, incontra delusioni dopo delusioni e ha bisogno dell'inaspettato incoraggiamento di sua nonna e di un'ex star anziana che incontra a una serata di talenti. Alla fine, riceve una chiamata per essere una comparsa, ed è così fiduciosa che i clienti abituali decidono di prenderla in giro. È questa la fine del sogno di Alice? Non se il portiere ha qualcosa da ridire.
