Hollywood, California: A Loser's Opera

Klein interviews Hollywood "wannabees"-car-hops and gas-station attendants at open-call tryouts. In an anti-Chorus Line, they line up to introduce themselves and tell their stories. Hollywood California...continues in the vein of The Little Richard Story and Muhammed Ali: convinced that if they stick with it the big break will come, the would-be actors are the naive side of the self-appointed cultural icon. But if, to paraphrase Andy Warhol, every American will get his three minutes of celebrity, for them, Klein's film might be it.
