Going Hollywood is a 1933 American pre-Code musical film directed by Raoul Walsh and starring Marion Davies and Bing Crosby.

An infatuated school-teacher, Sylvia Bruce (Marion Davies), follows Bill Williams (Bing Crosby), a popular crooner, to Hollywood where he is to make a picture.

On board the train she obtains a job as maid to Bill's French fiancée and leading lady, Lili Yvonne (Fifi D'Orsay), and meets the film's director, Conroy (Ned Sparks), and promoter, Baker (Stuart Erwin).

At the Independent Art Studio in Hollywood, where the film is being made, Lili's temperament and lack of talent cause Conroy much concern.

She is persuaded to stay and production continues with her singing "Cinderella's Fella" but Conroy is still not satisfied and an angry Lili walks out.

Bill deserts the film and goes with Lili to Tijuana where, drinking heavily, he receives a telephone call from the studio with the ultimatum that if he does not return they will get a replacement.

The song "Beautiful Girl" is sung by Crosby at the beginning of the film before his departure for Hollywood when technicians arrive to record it.

"We'll Make Hay While the Sun Shines" is a dream-sequence production number with thunderstorm effects at the Studio and is featured by Crosby, Davies, chorus and dancers.

[2][3] The film's original songs were written by the team of Nacio Herb Brown (music) and Arthur Freed (lyrics).

Blended properly with the holiday humors, Going Hollywood has enough basic liveliness to produce a sprightly and jocular mood at the Capitol.

Bing Crosby has a manner and a voice, both pleasant, and the songs that Nacio Brown and Arthur Freed provide have a tinkle and a lilt.
