Al Daff was the executive's name; Jimmy Carreras, Cushing, Lee and Anthony Hinds were there in New York atthe corporate offices.
Universal was on the skids in '58, worse off than they had been for years,for one reason or the other. That year they started dropping their contract players, they let a lot of their crews go for lack ofwork (which is how MONSTER OF PIEDRAS BLANCAS got so many ex-Universal guys, like the cameraman,Philip Lathrop). The talent agency MCA ("Th Octopus") bought into Universal as a way to control both talent and production. They started Revue, the MCA television arm, with all the Revue shoes stuff shot at Universal (Wagon Train, The Tall Man, etc.). Over the next couple years they corporately engulfed the entire studio. There was a protracted Federal anti-monopoly investigation involving some heavy-handed leverage, MCA's history of pressure and/or retaliation on clients, and Mob involvement. To avoid exposing all of this, MCA divested themselves of its talent agency business and became an entertainment company instead (although the talent agency continued to exist hand in glove with their new best friend, the new Universal.) See Dan Moldea's REAGAN, MCA & THE MOB.
