Original sentence: In 1927, Loew died, leaving control of MGM to Schenck.In 1929, the head of rival studio Fox Film Corporation, William Fox, arranged to buy controlling interest from Schenck.Mayer and Thalberg were outraged -- they were in charge of MGM but had no say in the deal -- and this only served to worsen an already tense relationship between Schenck and Mayer (reportedly, Mayer called Schenck "Mr.Mayer went to the Justice Department and, through his political connections, got the department to file antitrust charges against Fox.Nonetheless, Schenck blamed Mayer for the deal's collapse and never forgave him.Skunk" in private).The fact that Fox was seriously injured in the summer of 1929 in a car accident -- and the stock market crash took place in the fall of 1929 -- meant the Loews-Fox deal was doomed, even if the Justice Department had given its blessing
