''A Trip to Paramountown'' is a 1922 American short silent documentary film produced by Famous Players-Lasky and released through Paramount Pictures. The film runs about 20 minutes and features many personalities then under contract to Famous Players-Lasky and Paramount Pictures. ==Overview== ''A Trip to Paramountown'' was released in the wake of several scandals associated with the film industry, such as the manslaughter trial involving silent screen comedian Roscoe Arbuckle, the death of actress Olive Thomas, the murder of director William Desmond Taylor, and the drug-induced decline of Wallace Reid, who had been given morphine by a studio doctor after an on-set train wreck in 1919, which resulted in Reid's drug addiction and eventual death in January of 1923. The short is a promotion vehicle intended to show audiences film industry employees in their normal, everyday work settings. This film influenced later studio related scripted film fair such as Paramount's own ''Hollywood'' (1923), Goldwyn's ''Souls for Sale'' (1923), and MGM's ''Show People'' (1928). Paramount later released ''A Trip Through the Paramount Studio'' (1927) in response to MGM's ''MGM Studio Tour'' (1925).〔(SilentEra entry'' )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A Trip to Paramountown」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
