Movie Movie is a 1978 musical comedy film directed by Stanley Donen.Scott and Trish Van Devere, with a fake movie trailer sandwiched in between them. At the start of the film, George Burns tells us that we are about to see an old-style double feature. The first feature, Dynamite Hands, is about a young man named Joey Popchik from a poor family, who dreams of one day becoming a lawyer. It features a young woman whose dreams of performing on Broadway are finally coming true, a songwriter who s falling in love with her, and a spoiled actress who almost destroys the entire production with her drunkenness and reckless spending of the show s money.
In the end, his sister is cured, the villain is defeated, and Joey becomes a lawyer. The trailer is for a war movie set in World War I. The second feature, Baxter s Beauties of 1933, is a musical about a dying theatrical producer named Spats Baxter trying to create one last Broadway smash. Along the way he gets seduced by fame and fortune, and runs afoul of a crooked boxing manager.
The show ends with both triumph and tragedy- the young actress is a success, but at the heights of his triumph Baxter dies in her arms, saying: One minute you re standing in the wings- the next minute you re wearing em. . His sister is losing her eyesight, so he becomes a boxer to raise the money to have her cured.
