Yes, they were intelligent men....

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?
Your answer: FOCUS GROUPS
