"Hollywood Handicap" is a 1938 live action short film from the United States, so this one will have its 80th anniversary next year already. It is basically another MGM movie in which they show us many of the stars from back in the day, but not really come up with a (convincing) story, even if they try to make it look different at the very end for example. And "they" means Buster Keaton in this case as the silent film legend is the director of this black-and-white sound film. You won't see him in here though, but maybe the likes of Rooney, Jolson, Crosby, Hardy and many others may make up for that. Anyway, it becomes pretty obvious how friendly the United States present themselves when it comes to Black people/actors and this is also a bit of a political statement looking at what was going on in certain other areas of the world, but honestly looking at this 10-minute short film merely from a cinematic perspective there is nothing memorable in here, neither the music nor the racetrack action. I give it a thumbs-down. Not recommended.
