Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood begins with an appealing promise: Matt Tyrnauer will treat its documentary framework as a route into character rather than an excuse for noise. The early chemistry between Scotty Bowers and William Mann gives Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood an immediate pulse.

⁠
