"Hollywood Party" is a 21-minute live action short film from 1937, so it has its 80th anniversary this year. Of course, it is tough to find fault in such an old movie that does not only have sound (films usually did in the 1930s), but is also in color, namely Technicolor. But lets be honest here: This movie by Rowland and Krafft offers little in terms of the contents. It is basically a collection of stars from back then with the occasional interruption of music and comedy. But neither the music is too great nor the comedy too funny. And it's even difficult to appreciate the stars, even if they may include some of your favorites, because they disappear as quickly as they appear. It's certainly a case of quantity over quality and they tried to include as much/many as possible without giving them time to shine really. This is also the main reason why I would not recommend the watch here. Overall, a relatively underwhelming little show. Thumbs down.
