Umělec
Hollywood, 1927, George Valentin patří k největším hvězdám němého filmu. Poznáte ho podle tenkého knírku, typické bílé kravaty a fraku. Jeho účinkování v exotických příbězích o intrikách a hrdinských činech znamenalo velký úspěch pro filmové studio Kinograph, v jehož čele stojí magnát Al Zimmer. Sláva Georgovi vynesla elegantní manželku Doris, každý den ho vozí do práce oddaný šofér Clifton a vítá ho vlastní usměvavá tvář z plakátů Kinographu. Na filmové premiéře spontánně reaguje na bouřlivé davy fanoušků a reportérů. Jakoby svým postavám z oka vypadl a jeho hvězdná kariéra se zdá neohrozitelná. Hollywood však brzy ovládne nový fenomén: mluvený film. George touto technickou novinkou opovrhuje a označuje ji za nevkusné pobláznění.
