Three of Producer Wanger's artists (George Biddle, Ernest Fiene, Robert Philipp) had painted straight, conventional portraits of costumed cinemactors. One (Fiene) had thrown in a portrait of Producer Wanger himself. Famed U. S. "Primitive" Grant Wood, who sees life steadily and sees it neat, had painted a barbershop septet in a bar so photographically that it might have been mistaken for a movie still. Spanish Frescoist Luis Quintanilla had concentrated on the women in the cast (Carmen Morales and Judith Linden), left the two-fisted action scenes for Thomas Benton, Raphael Soyer, Georges Schreiber and James Chapin...
