Watch Online / Hollywood at Last! (TV Movie 1979)
Desc: Hollywood at Last!: Directed by Theo Uittenbogaard. With Karen Bunde, Leo Davis, Barry Hyman, Piet Schreuders. Dedicated Dutch graphic designer Piet Schreuders visits Los Angeles to investigate all kinds of typeface as used in title-credits for movies and TV-series, letters on billboards, shop-windows or street-signs, the banner-headlines of The Los Angeles Times, and climbs finally to the giant letters of the HOLLYWOOD-sign. In the meantime he discovers, to his great satisfaction, the location and stairs where Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy shot their movie 'The Musicbox', by combining street-signs, partially shown on still-pictures of this movie: "...MONTE" and "...ENDOME", which turn out to be found on the streetcorner of Del Monte and Vendome in Culver City. This documentary is bluntly intercut with commercials, a phenomenon not yet known in the Netherlands in 1979.
