Comedy, Hollywood, Film about Film, 1950s

For a lover of cinematic history, this film really delivers. It's jam-packed with references to the quintessential genre films that dominated Hollywood films in the late 1940s and 1950s: musicals, westerns, epics, and broody dramas. And talk about a star-studded cast! I've never been so entertained by Channing Tatum and Frances McDormand, though her role is small, is hysterical. A fun film that pokes fun at the world of show business.
