Ah, the Thirties.....one of the most creative decades in aviation around the world. Started with fabric covered biplanes and ended with the first experimental jet engines. Rip roaring fun and some of the best aviation movies too. The decline of Hollywood's creative process is tragic and will be so for the major studios, who apparently are unable to do anything new and instead must milk 75 year-old comics and fantasy IP to stay in business. Perhaps the indies may save them, if they allow that to happen.....(but they probably won't).
I hope so, too. but the indies haven't managed to save things before.
but there ARE the old ones...today, I actually watched "Twentieth Century" twice. and laughed harder the second time. possibly the only time John Barrymore actually earned his salary.
It was all about the Benjamins then, too. They just had a very different attitude to what profit is. Every product didn't have to have a 10% ROI regardless, which is what the intergalactic widgetmakers want. Also, they did believe in producing good work.

But that was back then, when the people who made movies actually loved them.....now it is all about the Benjamins.
