Film Synopsis
In the 1930s, young Bobby Dorfman has grown tried of life in New York.
With his parents always at loggerheads and his brother now a fully paid up
mobster, Bobby has no interest in the family jewellery business and wants
only to make a fresh start. To that end, he moves to Hollywood, and
turns to his Uncle Phil, an influential agent. The latter has no idea
what to do with the young man, who has no obvious talents in any direction,
so he takes him on as an errand boy. Phil asks his secretary Veronica
to help his nephew settle into his new life in Hollywood, and before he knows
it Bobby is in love with her - which is unfortunate, as she already has a
man in her life. In fact the man in question is Phil, who has been
carrying on an illicit affair with Veronica for some time, the latter foolishly
thinking that he will one day divorce his wife and marry her. When
Phil puts an end to the relationship, Veronica can't help falling for Bobby...
