	Telegraph \| News \| Rosalind Hicks
		Agatha Christie herself had firm ideas about how her books should be dramatised and did not like most of the film versions of her work, the one exception being Sidney Lumet's Murder on the Orient Express, which she enjoyed.
		In 1995, when the film company Polygram proposed to give a 1990s spin to its version of Towards Zero, by introducing incest into the story, Rosalind Hicks forbade the use of the title, the author's name or the original names of the characters.
		She was also upset by Agatha Christie and the Eleven Missing Days (1998), in which the writer Jared Cade claimed, based on interviews with members of another side of the author's family, that her disappearance had been planned by the writer herself as an elaborate method of humiliating her unfaithful husband.

	Film History of the 1920s
		Most US film production at the start of the decade occurred in or near Hollywood on the West Coast, although some films were still being made in New Jersey and in Astoria on Long Island (Paramount).
		Films varied from sexy melodramas and biblical epics by Cecil B. DeMille, to westerns (such as Cruze's The Covered Wagon (1923)), horror films, gangster/crime films, war films, the first feature documentary or non-fictional narrative film (Robert Flaherty's Nanook of the North (1922)), romances, mysteries, and comedies (from the silent comic masters Chaplin, Keaton, and Lloyd).
		Film theaters and studios were not initially affected in this decade by the Crash in late 1929.

	MOVIE STUDIO FACTS AND INFORMATION
		A movie studio is a company which develops, equips and maintains a controlled environment for the making of a film.
		By the mid 1920s the evolution of a handful of American production companies into wealthy film industry conglomerates, which owned their own studios, as well as their own distribution divisions, theaters, contracted performers and filmmaking personnel, led to the incorrect equation of "studio" with "production company" as a result of industry slang.
		In most cases a theatrical film will bypass pay-cable runs for broadcast television because the cost of running these films may be too expensive for such networks as HBO, Showtime, and Starz to run.

	Film History Before 1920
		As film production increased, cinema owner William Fox was one of the first (in 1904) to form a distribution company (a regional rental exchange), that bought shorts and then rented them to exhibitors at lower rates.
		To limit competition from other independent companies and to protect and increase profits, it bought and pooled major patents (on movie machines such as cameras and projectors), and charged anyone (by issuing licenses) who wanted to use their equipment or hire their films.
		By 1912, 15 film companies were operating in Hollywood, and large studios were becoming the norm.
