The cinema is little more than a fad. It‘s canned drama. What audiences really want to see is flesh and blood on the stage.‖ -- Charlie Chaplin,1916
[Television] won‘t be able to hold on to any market it captures after the first six months. People will soon get tired of staring at a plywood box every night.‖ -- Darryl Zanuck, movie producer, 20th Century Fox, 1946
