Hollywood Mouth is a must see for Hollywood History!
Loved this movie! Hollywood Mouth has an amazing amount of Hollywood history packed into 75 minutes. I especially liked the beginning of the movie with the buildings from Hollywood's Golden area of the 1930's and 1940's, when actors' images were carefully crafted by the Studios.
The main character of the movie, Berlyn, tells the story of what happened to her when she meets two Europeans who claim that they have a Faberge egg that they want to sell. A deserted amphitheater makes a brilliant background for age-old stories of treasure, distrust and possibly deceit and the actors' ups and downs. Sam Bologna, as a tough guy who collects movie memorabilia, was a standout, although all the actors were very good.
This movie is very entertaining, gives you something to think about and a lot to take away with you. I highly recommend it!

If you are an aficionado of classic movies and actors and actresses from the earlier days of Hollywood or just like movies, you will find Hollywood Mouth most enjoyable. The glimpses of pictures of movie stars and their homes are fun.
Hollywood Mouth tells the story of Berlyn Ferlinghetti being asked to help two strangers, Camille and Gary, sell a Faberge egg. Director Jordan Mohr cleverly weaves interesting facts about Faberge eggs into the script such as they were originally gifts for Czar Nicolas' mother, no one knows how many eggs were made. And did you know that "some were sold at Bullock's- Wilshire' where the stars shopped'". In the film Berlyn speculates that perhaps the egg might even have been stolen. She takes the Peter Lorre mask to a F/X technician to be duplicated. It is fascinating to watch the process as the technician goes through the intricate steps.
The movie is filled with wonderful photos of people such as James Dean, Peter Lorre, Cary Grant,...
