В 1913 году работник киностудии Майкл Коннорс увидел в постановке на Бродвее Молли Адэр. Очарованный ее красотой и талантом, он уговаривает ее оставить театр и уехать с ним в Калифорнию, где в то время начинает развиваться киноиндустрия. Став сценаристом и режиссером фильмов с Молли в главной роли, он делает из нее звезду... Сюжет замешан на биографии Макка Сеннетта и Мэйбл Норманд. В фильме снимались в роли самих себя многие звёзды немого кино. В имени главного героя заменили всего две буквы. Изменены названия студий. Скандал с загадочным убийством Уильяма Тейлора заменен на автомобильную катастрофу и по-мелочи. Но много и придуманного. Мэйбл Норманд не была звездой Бродвея и попала в кинематограф без помощи Макка Сеннетта. Макк Сеннетт в фильме встречается со своим «двойником» в молодости. Фантастическая концовка ‒ никакого триумфального прорыва в звуковое кино в реальности не было.

Mc Coy
Этот фильм снят по реальным событиям, произошедшим во второй половине девятнадцатого века в США. После трагической войны между южными и северными штатами Америка приступила к завоеванию запада. Символом этой эпохи стало строительство трансконтинентальной железной дороги.
Строительство часто сопровождалось произволом и насилием, люди стали ощущать себя жертвами растущего чудовища по прозвищу «железный конь». Хорошо это или плохо, но та эпоха даровала миру самых известных преступников — братьев Фрэнка и Джесси Джеймса. По легенде изначально братья были мирными фермерами, но когда железнодорожная компания попыталась нагло отнять их ферму в свою пользу, парни взялись за оружие, и, организовав отряд «справедливого мщения», начали совершать дерзкие ограбления банков, поездов и почтовых дилижансов.

Это четвертая адаптация на экране знаменитого романа Марка и первая снятая в цвете. Типичная для Голливуда, хотя, оригинальная сюжетная линия Твена иногда изменена для усиления драматической линии. Например, в фильме индеец Джо падает в пропасть, куда его ногой толкает Том, а в романе, индеец Джо теряется в пещере и умирает от голода к сожалению, некоторые сцены с глубоким юмором из романа, например, когда Гекельбери Финн, дает Тому свою трубку, чтобы тот покурил, не была использована в фильме из-за страха цензуры.
