This one got panned pretty broadly, but I liked it. Plot:
Looking for an exciting career, young Bobby Dorfman leaves New York for the glitz and glamour of 1930s Hollywood. After landing a job with his uncle, Bobby falls for Vonnie, a charming woman who happens to be his employer's mistress. Settling for friendship but ultimately heartbroken, Bobby returns to the Bronx and begins working in a nightclub. Everything falls into place when he finds romance with a beautiful socialite, until Vonnie walks back into his life and captures his heart once again.
Love of NYC comes through strongly, as Bobby is lost in LA. Bobby isn't quite the innocent abroad, though, as he works for his criminal brother in NYC upon his return. So, a little gangster movie merged with romance. Not great, but not pretentious--liked it more than Midnight in Paris.
