So, We're in the Movies, Now! is this quirky little documentary that captures the spirit of a 1939-40 meeting at Paramount Studios. The tone feels like a mix of enthusiasm and nostalgia, as you can almost sense the excitement of the sales team talking about the upcoming films. It’s not polished, kind of rough around the edges, which gives it a charming authenticity. The pacing can be a bit slow but it allows you to soak in the rare glimpses of the studio’s inner workings. The practical effects and presentations they discuss are fascinating, revealing how they marketed films back then. You’ll find the performances of the sales team quite engaging; they’re clearly passionate about what they do. It’s a neat little time capsule.
This film isn't widely circulated, which makes it a curious find for collectors interested in the history of film marketing. It has been released on various formats, but original prints are becoming harder to come by. The documentary's unique insight into the studio system of the late 1930s attracts a niche audience, often leading to discussions among collectors about the evolution of film promotion.
