Shooting Stars

1928 · 103 min · GB

Directed by Anthony Asquith, A.V. Bramble

Anthony Asquith and A.V. Bramble, 1928: a British studio picture about a film studio, a star, a husband, a gun that may not have been a blank. Shooting Stars is the title and the method. One of the first movies about movies that is also a thriller. Asquith, still young, already cutting like a man who has seen the Russians. The set is the crime scene.
