One of the best things about this Walk of Fame project is seeing classic actors do things I didn’t know they did. I’ve seen William Powell do a bunch of suave & sophisticated parts, but I’d never seen him do broad physical comedy. Watching him try to fish was a whole new experience.
Before Jack Conway (1500 Vine Street) started directing, he was a silent film actor. Most of his parts were in Westerns, which explains his cowboy outfit in this picture.
Today’s fake poster is based on one for a movie that as far as I can tell has zero connection to this one.
