Show People is a remarkable film...

The Retro Set

Show People is a classic of its type, certainly more entertaining than The Artist, which recycled the same material to considerably diminished effect.

What might have been hysterical back in the day, today seems passably cutesy comedy.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews

Interesting Hearst-backed production starring Davies and other big stars of the era.
