Hollywood Boulevard (1976)


 

A young woman arrives in Hollywood to try her luck as an actress. An incompetent agent hooks her up with a production company which specializes in low budget B-movie fair, plagued by strange deadly accidents.

From memory: Wildly uneven hit-or-miss spoof of the low budget film industry finds most of its humor by having been produced in the same way the films it makes fun of were made.

Halliwell (no star): "Bizarre action film spoof, with dialogue and a slim narrative added to action sequences taken from previous Roger Corman movies; it will mainly interest fans of Corman or of the other talents involved."

Maltin**1/2: "Shameless low-budgeter...Engaging nonsense and some funny gags (especially for film buffs and Corman devotees) - though not enough to completely hide the fact that this is a schlock movie."
