Quotes by Ian Hamilton  (?)

“The really staggering production costs at the major studios were not the salaries of the artists, but the Croesus-like bonuses handed out to executives at the end of each year. In the thirties an unbelievable 20–25 per cent of the net earnings of the majors went to remunerate a tiny handful of production chiefs, studio owners and New York executives.”
― Ian Hamilton, Writers in Hollywood 1915-1951
