''Movie Movie'' is a 1978 satire of three 1930s movie genres. It was directed by Creator/StanleyDonen, and stars the husband-and-wife team Creator/GeorgeCScott and Creator/TrishVanDevere. It also features Creator/BarryBostwick, Creator/RedButtons, Creator/ArtCarney, Creator/EliWallach, Creator/HarryHamlin, Creator/BarbaraHarris, Creator/AnnReinking, and Creator/RebeccaYork. Many cast members appear in multiple segments.
Creator/GeorgeBurns introduces the film, telling viewers that they are about to see an old-style double feature. In the old days, he explains, movies were in black-and-white except sometimes "when they sang it came out in color."
The first feature is ''Dynamite Hands'', which satirizes boxing films. A delivery boy (Hamlin) turns prizefighter to raise money for his kid sister's eye operation. Distracted by a flashy gangster (Wallach) and a sexy nightclub diva (Reinking), he turns his back on his father-figure manager (Scott) and librarian girlfriend (Devere).
A coming-attractions trailer for ''Zero Hour'' satirizes World War I aviation dramas during the intermission between the two main features.
The second feature is ''Baxter's Beauties of 1933'', which satirizes backstage Broadway musicals. A legendary theatrical producer (Scott) learns from his doctor (Carney) that he has only a month to live. To support the daughter he's never known, he is determined to mount one last Broadway hit. His accountant (Bostwick) turns out to be a genius songwriter. His star (Devere) is a spoiled diva who nearly destroys the entire production with her drunkenness and reckless spending of the show's money, and is unable to go on opening night. A recently hired ingénue (York) go on instead, and turns out to be his long-estranged daughter. The show is a hit, and as the curtain falls, a dying Baxter tells her "One minute you're standing in the wings. The next minute you're wearing 'em."
----
!! This film provides examples of:
* AffectionateParody: It's a loving valentine to cheesy B-list films, complete with lines so cornball they'd make Captain America blush.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: Everything was shot with color film, but ''Dynamite Hands'' was printed in black-and-white for its cinematic release.
* DoubleDoubleTitle: ''Movie Movie'', of course.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: In ''Dynamite Hands'', Joey quits boxing, races through law school, becomes a prosecutor, and puts the villain behind bars.
* TheIngenue: Kitty, in ''Baxter's Beauties of 1933''.
* MadeOfIron: In his final match, ordered to take a dive in the 5th round by Vince, Joey lets his opponent use him as a punching bag for 4 rounds. Just before the 5th round, he learns that Vince's threat has been nullified, so he comes out swinging and quickly knocks out his opponent.
* MakingTheMasterpiece: The premise of ''Baxter's Beauties of 1933''.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: All of Joey's matches go this way, including his final match (once he learns that Vince no longer has any leverage over him).
* ThePrimaDonna: Isobel, in ''Baxter's Beauties of 1933''.
* PushedInFrontOfTheAudience: A WardrobeMalfunction prevents one of the male dancers from going onstage, so Baxter is forced to go on in his place.
* TroubledProduction: In universe, the ShowWithinAShow in ''Baxter's Beauties of 1933'' is this, mainly because Isobel blew through its funds with her lavish lifestyle.
