...where a man came to his office to find his name being taken off the door. As an Associate Producer under Zanuck, Wallis supervised One-Way Passage, Gold Diggers of 1933, I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang. Two and one-half years later Zanuck left to form Twentieth Century Productions. Wallis' name went back on the most important Warner Bros, door, has remained there ever since...

Faced with an overwhelming galaxy of some of Hollywood's best talent, the audience is whisked with bewildering rapidity from one love story to the next.
