Ella Cinders (1926) ****

Coleen Moore gives a fabulous performance as a modern-day Cinderella who tries to become a Hollywood movie star. Forget “The Artist” (Oscar or no Oscar) – this is the best silent film set in Tinseltown, with Marion Davis' “Show People” a close runner-up. Of course, “Singin' In The Rain” is still the greatest film about Hollywood, sound or silent.
