Sassy and ambitious waitress Mary Evans amuses and befriends amiable seldom-sober Hollywood film director Max Carey when he stumbles into her restaurant. Max invites Mary to his film premiere and, after a night of drinking and carousing, Mary is granted a screen test. A studio contract follows. Just as Mary finds her dreams coming true, Carey’s life and career begins its descent.

00:05You're the prettiest girl we've seen.
00:07Oh, that's awfully sweet of you.
00:09You'll see me in pictures someday.
00:12That's my price.
00:13I just got through making a personal appearance tour
00:15on the palsy-walsy circuit, and I'm box office.
00:18I got box office sticking out all over me.
00:20So long.
00:26Well, what have you got?
00:27I got box office, too.
00:30I want some cold cuts.
00:32And a lot of hand.
00:33Now, Gretty, would you mind leaving that phone in?
00:36Women are getting fed up with the blonde type.
00:38Like I said, Latin types are coming back.
00:40Look at Clark Gable. He's through.
00:42Now, listen.
00:43An order of cold cuts from Mr. Box office.
00:45You bet.
00:47Hey, listen.
00:48Latin types are coming back again.
00:50I just heard that big producer cracking to his yes man.
00:53What did I tell you?
00:54You can fool some of the people all the time,
00:57but you can't never fool the American women.
01:00They want sophisticated love.
01:04I'll take vanilla.
01:07Good evening, Mr. Carey.
01:11Gardenia, Mr. Carey?
01:12Gardenia for your buttonhole, Mr. Carey?
01:15I'll buy them all.
01:16All of them?
01:17Yes, Mother.
01:18Then I'll corner the gardenia market.
01:20No one will have any, and I'll get all the girls.
01:23You don't need a gardenia to get the girls, Mr. Carey.
01:27No.
01:28Well, just for that, I'll send you home in my car.
01:31Oh, Mr. Carey.
01:36Thanks so much, Mr. Carey.
01:37James, take the young lady home, will you?
01:40There you are.
01:41Don't forget me in your next picture, Mr. Carey.
01:44I'd be another Marie Dressler.
01:46I wouldn't be smart.
01:55Hello, Max.
01:56Hello, ladies.
01:57I just want to leave.
01:59Thank you, sir.
02:00Thank you, Max.
02:01How are you?
02:02Well, well, one day.
02:03Thank you, Max.
02:04Who is he, dear?
02:06Maximilian Carey, the great director.
02:07His picture opens at Grauman's Chinese tonight.
02:09Oh, I wonder if he could put us in one of his pictures.
02:13Hello, Max.
02:14How are you?
02:15How are you, Heather?
02:16Oh, good job.
02:17There you are.
02:18Hello, how are you?
02:20I beg your pardon, old man.
02:24Pardon me, who's your tailor?
02:28I hear I got a great picture, Max.
02:29Anything new?
02:32Look.
02:37Oh, Mr. Carey.
02:39I know.
02:40Congratulations, Mr. Carey.
02:42What for?
02:43What for?
02:43For your new picture that's opening tonight.
02:45Well, that's very sweet of you to say that.
02:47Look, he's going into one of your booths.
02:51Oh, let me wait on him, will you?
02:52Well, I gave you Wally Berry last week.
02:55Well, okay.
02:56What about the tip?
02:57Oh, you can have the tip.
02:58I'm not interested in that.
02:59There we are.
03:00And now, I guess I saw you?
03:00I'll do something that I outlined here.
03:00I'm sorry.
