SYNOPSIS: It’s 1928, and silent films are on their way out. When ditzy studio owner Mrs. Hickenhoofer sees her first talking movie, she demands her pirate picture be turned into a talkie—mid-production! In The Silver Screen, chaos reigns: the director quits, a handyman takes over, microphones baffle the cast, and a diva storms off. Just when all seems lost, a wardrobe girl becomes an unlikely star and a gangster disguise saves the day. A fast-paced, comedy set at the dawn of Hollywood’s sound era.
