they must be responsible the successes (Do
hear chorus Of protest from the sars?) And certainly
deny the of motion picture industry as
whole.
The lot of producer, like Gilbert Sulvans policeman,
is unhappy Don't msunderstand after % years of
picture making I still consider myself of those pre-
sumaby rare individuals happy like my job and
couldn't imagine myself in any other work Still and ALL
have troubles had already guessed was leading
up to that2
A producer in studio is like the captain of ship. He
has charge of the picture from it's very beginning until its
very end. And the actual filming, you've heard many
times takes up only about 20 per Of the time required
to produce picture His work begins with selecting story
choosing the writers to prepare treatment and script pick
ing director and cast then supervising the filming, editing
and musical scoring And in that involved lot Of
things happen.
AS often happens some particular star is assigned to
producer her services to be available specified date
This the producer must find story get it written
and cast selected given time In my cas when
to Paramount, said wanted to do picture with
Caudette Colbert had just directed her in "Under Two
Flags" which I made after completing "Mutiny the
Bounty"
wanted story with real theme and in addition OBJ
viousy had to have story suitable to Miss Colbert Con-
servativey, I'll bet read 500 stories before found the
right lot of them good even great
but of them quite chit When you get the right
story you know it immediately that has always been true
of me, at least.
Salem" knew had the story 1t had great theme-the
overthrow Of persecution which essentially the theme of
Mutiny the Bounty" 1t admirably suited Miss Colbert
and likewise had fine role for Fred MacMurray And it
had large number of important supporting roles to which
ultimately assigned Harvey Stephens, Gale sondergaard
Edward Ellis, Beulah Bond, Bonita Granville, Virginia
Wedler and others.
In this instance both the producer and director
Cecil B. DeMlle, Wesley Rugges and Ernst Lubsch follow
the production system here at Paramount. What it
often amounts to is that absorbs all the troubles
which ordinarily shoudered by two men.
Making pictures easy and it is becoming
difficult all the time The public rightly demands that the
unusual of yesterday become the commonplace Of today
producers must continually oudo Themselves And remember
there rules for making successful pictures The minute
a r1In mad dV hrpak and
smash hit Under such circumstances anybody be
peced to be right every tme9 biased Of course but
think movie producers hit pretty high average Anyway
hope I've given you different slant our daily Job
