The Goldwyn Follies is a whimsical musical comedy film directed by George Marshall and released in 1938. The storyline revolves around a movie producer named Oliver Merlin, played by Adolphe Menjou. Merlin is known for his extravagant and larger-than-life productions but becomes concerned about losing touch with the general public's taste.

Driven by his desire to reconnect with the average person, Merlin decides to find someone who represents the ordinary individual's perspective. He creates a contest to select a regular girl to be crowned "Miss Humanity," someone who will represent the voice of the common people and critically evaluate his films.

Enter Hazel Dawes, portrayed by Andrea Leeds, a genuine and unpretentious girl who embodies the essence of simplicity. Hazel is chosen to become "Miss Humanity" and is thrust into the glamorous world of Hollywood and the Goldwyn Studios.

As Hazel embraces her new role, she sets out to watch and review Merlin's movies from an ordinary person's perspective. Her critiques offer valuable insights to Merlin, which he appreciates even though they sometimes clash with his grandiose vision.

Throughout the film, Hazel finds herself caught in a love triangle involving Merlin and Danny Beecher (played by Kenny Baker), a talented songwriter working for Merlin. As the story unfolds, Hazel's down-to-earth nature captivates both men, creating a delicate romantic dynamic.

As the romantic tensions build, Merlin's movie studio faces financial troubles, and he seeks to create a masterpiece to win back the public's favor. However, his extravagant ideas clash with Hazel's genuine point of view. She advocates for relatable storytelling and heartfelt performances, something Merlin initially struggles to grasp.

In a turn of events, Hazel convinces Merlin to create a simpler and more genuine movie, deviating from his usual extravagant productions. With the help of Danny's charming songwriting, they create a heartwarming film that resonates with audiences and receives critical acclaim.

In the end, Hazel's authenticity and her ability to bring a fresh perspective to the world of filmmaking win the hearts of Merlin and the public at large. The Goldwyn Follies highlights the power of simplicity, love, and understanding, ultimately delivering a message about the importance of staying connected to the average person's viewpoint in the enchanting world of cinema.
