Hollywood Party is a musical film starring Jimmy Durante and distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The film has no director credited, although it has been asserted that Richard Boleslawski, Allan Dwan, Edmund Goulding, Russell Mack, Charles Reisner, Roy Rowland, George Stevens, and Sam Wood directed various scenes. The film was not a financial or critical success and is mostly remembered today because it features 31 stars such as Laurel and Hardy, The Three Stooges , and Mickey Mouse. The latter introduces a Technicolor cartoon sequence, "Hot Choc'late Soldiers", created by Walt Disney. Laurel... and Hardy appear at the door while the party is happening. They sold the lions to Baron Munchausen and he paid with a cheque for 50,000 tiddlywinks and they want the lions back. The doorman refuses them entry so they lock him out and go looking for the Baron. Stan and Ollie can't find the Baron and end up at a bar. At the bar Lupe Vélez has been refused another drink and she screams her displeasure. They have a classic tit-for-tat argument with eggs. The doorman spots Stan and Ollie and gives chase.
