    studio PR

    Two movie fans take one of those street-side Movie Tour Guide rides. They track down various movie stars in their 'everyday' appearances. Clark Gable is power-washing his property and the fictional journey begins.

    This is part PR for the studio system. It's part stargazing with these movie stars. It's an interesting time capsule of a fictional and real world. It has some 'real' footage mixed in with these fictional tourists. It's a bit quirky. It's also a quiz to test how many of these once-famous people one can recognize.
