Public Domain Movies | A Virgin In Hollywood

The film follows the story of a small-town girl named Alice (played by Peggy Ann Garner) who dreams of becoming a Hollywood star. Eager to pursue a career in the entertainment industry, she leaves her rural hometown and heads to Hollywood with dreams of stardom.

Once in Hollywood, Alice encounters the harsh realities of the entertainment business. The film explores the challenges she faces, including the exploitation and predatory behavior that was unfortunately prevalent in the industry during that era. Alice navigates auditions, casting couch situations, and other obstacles as she strives to achieve her goal of fame.

As an exploitation film, "A Virgin in Hollywood" likely exploited the allure of Hollywood, the entertainment industry, and the perceived glamour associated with becoming a star. It's important to note that films of this nature often sensationalized their subject matter and were designed to attract audiences through provocative themes (1953).
