The Hollywood Revue of 1929 was the first movie of its kind, similar to the stage extravaganzas of Florenz Ziegfeld and George White. Nominated for a Best Picture Oscar, the movie lost to The Broadway Melody (1929), another MGM production to which it is very similar, except that Hollywood Revue has no plotline to connect its skits and songs.

MGM's entry in this all-star genre was Hollywood Revue of 1929, which, though a box-office smash and a "Best Picture" Oscar nominee, is an absolutely deadly experience when seen today. Even so, it coasts by on its curiosity value, as several major MGM luminaries display their all-talking, all-singing, all-dancing talents (or lack of same).
