Running time: 90 minutes

One of the great satires of Hollywood. A director of fluffy musicals (Joel McCrea) decides to make a social problem film about the down-trodden. He disguises himself as a hobo and hit the rails. Along the way he picks up "the girl" (Veronica Lake in her breakthrough role), learns about hardship and the value of entertainment, and in the end figures out that all roads lead to Hollywood.

The free film screening will be followed by a panel discussion.
