Un documentaire sur Z Channel, l'une des premières chaînes câblées payantes des États-Unis, et son responsable de la programmation, Jerry Harvey.

Cette nostalgique leçon d'histoire recèle les trésors cachés des plus grandes comédies musicales de la MGM ainsi que de nombreux autres extraits merveilleux mais moins célèbres, avec Esther Williams, Jimmy Durante, Eleanor Powell et même Clark Gable chantant et dansant. « Il était une fois Hollywood » est une véritable gourmandise pour cinéphiles et amateurs de comédies musicales.

Roulant à travers les rues du vieux Porto, le réalisateur Manoel de Oliveira se souvient d'une promenade faite la nuit, à sa demande, quand il avait neuf ou dix ans, alors qu'il rentrait à la maison avec sa mère après une soirée au théâtre.

The film is a celebration of the casting profession, highlighting its previously unsung role in film history while also serving as an elegy to the lost era of the New Hollywood. It focuses on casting pioneer Marion Dougherty, an iconoclast whose exquisite taste, tenacity and gut instincts brought a new kind of actor to the screen that would mark the end of the old studio system and help to usher in this revolutionary new period. The film draws a line through the last half century to show us the profession’s evolution from studio system type-casting to the rise of large ensemble films populated with unique and diverse casts.
