I've been reading a lot of Hollywood histories and biographies lately and some of this territory was covered in those books.  I'd read long ago that movie moguls like Louis B. Mayer and Jack Warner took care to tread lightly so as to hold onto the lucrative German boxoffice even long after it was clear that a lunatic was in charge of that asylum.  The most surprising thing to me in my readings was that Irving Thalberg, normally thought of as a bright, sensitive, erudite, artistic man rather than a money-grubbing studio boss, just didn't see Hitler as being all that bad.  He had a sort of "yeah, it's unfortunate, but it'll pass and everything will be okay" attitude.  And he evidently went to his early grave still holding that opinion.  An unpleasant and somewhat surprising bit of real-life blindness for a bright, kind, Jewish boy.

If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to.                                                                                     Dorothy Parker
