If Only the Old Studio Chiefs Had Been As Decent as Mannix


When you read accounts of how despicable guys like Jack Warner, Harry Cohn, and Louis B. Mayer were to so many people, especially women, it makes you wish Eddie Mannix was real.

Reminds me of the old quote...Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power.

Mannix had power and was still a decent human being, those other guys were largely the opposite.

Food in Films: Hobie gives a whole new meaning to spaghetti western. And that was very kind of Mrs. Mannix to keep the roast warm for Eddie.
