that is exactly why they are in the business....they don't do it because they have some sort of moral obligation to fund artistic endevours! That really hasn't changed much. Do you think Goldwyn or Metro cared about artistic creativity? They had movie making machines. What I posed was films that would cause a furvor today because of our new PC constraints. Also another problem is historic inaccuracies because of the same problem.Another example, shirly Temple movies, much loved and revered, would never be made today.

A very interesting read that documents the classic era of American filmmaking that spanned the late '60's through the late '70's. Many great stories and insights on the rise (and fall) of the industry and the people who worked within it.

...the old studio heads did have a passion for making movies, and they cared about quality. Even within limitations, there were some very heavy hitting artists at work within the old studio systems, and some of the intent got through to the screen.
educated. They assumed the audience would want to see a higher quality picture. They assumed the audience would want to see what they would want to see. And subsequently the world recieved a much higher quality of product in the past, generally speaking. The difference today is the overuse and abuse of the science of focus groups. Now studio heads rely on focus groups to determine if pictures should get made, and how they should be made.The studio exects are JUST as interested in money today as they were yesterday. I still claim that hasn't changed much. Many women actors claim that Goldwyn set them up with doctors who prescribed them amph. to lose weight? He didn't care about their health. They also bought and sold their contracts like cattle. They were money making machines, NOT patrons of the art.
Youy wanna real cause for the demise of the quality studio picture?
