Includes materials dealing with the ownership and production of motion pictures. Of special interest are the items known as “summaries of production costs” or “certified statements of costs.” These give detailed breakdowns of the production costs of motion pictures and include names of directors, producers, associate producers, cameramen, and writers; variant titles; starting and finishing dates; and breakdowns of over twenty different classifications of costs, including the names and salaries of cast members.
