Your statement that "guilt must be shared by both races" is preposterous. The fact that a few black people worked with the slavers is neither here nor there.

While pursuing his career as a director, Peter Bogdanovich has been an assiduous and romantic collector of early Hollywood reminiscences. This interest sets him apart from his fellow film craftsmen, who rarely betray the slightest knowledge of their medium's past and who have in the last year or so trashed all kinds of potentially interesting material (Gable and Lombard, W.C.
