Mervyn LeRoy
According to Mervyn LeRoy in his autobiography "Mervyn LeRoy: Take One," Calley played a big role in LeRoy's exit of Warner Bros. when The Kinney Company acquired it. Calley notified LeRoy that due to a "change in corporate thinking," the studio was not going to support his effort in producing the story "Thirteen Clocks". When LeRoy asked Calley about the promises that he had made before, Calley answered "We'll have to wait and see."
