Hollywood, City of Dreams (Spanish:Hollywood, ciudad de ensueno) is a 1931 American drama film directed by George Crone and starring José Bohr, Lia Torá and Donald Reed.[1] It was a Spanish-language film made in the United States, as part of an effort to reach Spanish-speaking audiences around the world following the introduction of sound. Unlike some other Spanish-language films of the era, it was not a remake of an English film but an original story.

gollark: *Can* you efficiently just convert carbon dioxide/water back into oxygen/carbon? I mean, the whole reason we do it the other way round is the fact that a lot of energy is released.
gollark: Or just keep them lying around, like in forests, but there are capacity limits.
gollark: I mean, plants turn carbon dioxide into... plant bits... which means you have to grow plants and then stockpile those plant bits somewhere without burning them.
gollark: Funnily enough, photovoltaic panels are actually more efficient at sunlight→energy conversion than plants.
