Hollywood, City of Dreams (Spanish:Hollywood, ciudad de ensueno) is a 1931 American drama film directed by George Crone and starring José Bohr, Lia Torá and Donald Reed. It was a Spanish-language film made in the United States, as part of an effort to reach Spanish-speaking audiences around the world following the introduction of sound. Unlike some other Spanish-language films of the era, it was not a remake of an English film but an original story.
A young immigrant hopes to make it big in Hollywood and meet his idol, a female film star. He goes through a number of minor jobs but eventually gets his break and begins a romance with his heroine. Nonetheless the film ends on a downbeat note as he returns on a boat to his native country.
Le soir du 1er août, le commandant Corlaix, de la Marine française, organise un dîner avec les officiers de son croiseur et sa femme Yvonne. Après le repas, le Lieutenant D'Artelle demande à Yvonne de rester à bord avec lui, et quand Corlaix demande à sa femme de quitter le navire (car il a appris par radio que la guerre a été déclarée), elle se rend dans la cabine de D'Artelle. Plus tard, le croiseur est coulé par une torpille et Corlaix passe en cour martiale pour incompétence. Yvonne vient témoigner et en se compromettant prouve que son mari avait fait son devoir. Corlaix, réalisant qu'Yvonne l'aime, lui pardonne.
Sombras de gloria, like Blaze o' Glory, takes its premise from the story The Long Shot by Thomas Alexander Boyd. It is part war movie, part courtroom drama.
