coffeedan1927 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Greetings, everybody! I've been looking at stiil another old issue of Liberty I received in the mail this morning. This is the Oct. 15, 1927 issue, and I've been reading the movie review of WINGS, which is largely favorable and accompanied by a great picture of Clara Bow. But about three paragraphs in, I noticed this now-familiar complaint: "It is typical of Hollywood to spend a million or more on production and forget the story." Just goes to show that the more things change, the more they remain the same. And now, on to this week's movie trivia . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffeedan1927 Posted September 27, 2005 Author Share Posted September 27, 2005 Excellent, wnyzman! You are correct! Incidentally, the original screen story was written by Paul Dresser's brother, author Theodore Dreiser (An American Tragedy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
