Synopsis:
Movie, Movie is an omnibus consisting of two different movies divided by a fake preview for a nonexistent third film. The first movie Dynamite Hands is a story about a young man from a working-class family who starts boxing in order to earn money for his sister’s eye operation. Even though he really wants to become a lawyer, he becomes seduced by money and fame. Baxter's Beauties of 1933 is a story about a theatre producer who finds out he is about to die and thus wants to make his final Broadway hit.
