I decided to watch to hopefully learn of some the intricacies of making such a classic film. But instead I was consumed by a highly entertaining story of the complications and hurdles to get the film into theaters. The cast is quite an ensemble that effectively presents each character and captures the emotions and challenges they each confronted. It was fascinating to learn a little about so many great films that were being/just had been developed at the time, which makes one realizes that was the heyday of film making (whereas today it's merely money making using films to do it). Back then it took "balls and brains" in making movies, today all you need is an MBA and a boss like Barry.
