	MTV.com - Movies - Darryl F. Zanuck
		Darryl Zanuck passed away in 1979 at the age of 77, but his name was so ubiquitous in its attachment to great movies that he remains a relatively well-known figure out of Hollywood's gold and silver ages.
		Darryl F. Zanuck was that relative rarity among the movie moguls, a truly engaged, hands-on studio chief whose involvement with movies grew out of real talent, and not merely an accident of ownership.
		Zanuck shepherded Warner Bros. out the silents and into the full sound era, and by the early '30s, he was one of the most powerful and respected men in the movie business, and not yet 30 years old.

	Variety.com - The son also rises
		Dick Zanuck turned 70 last year, and maybe a hint of relaxation has appeared in the terrific drive, authority, American handsomeness and chronic decisiveness that his great, feared yet beloved father, Darryl F., instilled in him.
		Dick Zanuck produced "Compulsion" for dad when he was only 25, and it's still a strong, worthy movie, with 10 great minutes from Orson Welles, and performances from Dean Stockwell and Bradford Dillman that took the acting prize at Cannes (the three shared the laurel that year).
		So Dick Zanuck is a veteran and a revered figure, still patient with Zanuck jokes and still eager to find good material.

		Although the book is meticulously researched, Darryl and Richard have been better covered elsewhere (e.g., in Leonard Mosley's Zanuck, LJ 4/1/74, on Darryl Zanuck), and none of the other offspring merit much coverage.
		Zanuck's son Richard has also been profiled (in tandem with his father), most recently in Stephen M. Silverman's The Fox That Got Away (LJ 12/1/88).
		Obviously this is an overly familiar tale, as the head of a family puts together a fortune which is dissipated by children and grandchildren.

	The Formation of Twentieth Century-Fox (20th Century Fox)
		Even though Twentieth Century, one of the most high-profile independent companies, had abandoned the independent movement, Darryl Zanuck's initial step of leaving Warners to form his own company had a trigger effect on other studio executives and creative personnel who desired to go independent.
		Zanuck turned down several lucrative offers from other studios in order to devote his efforts to producing quality movies on an independent basis.
		The independent company, barely two years old, received top billing; Kent remained president, Schenck became chairman, and Zanuck found himself head-of-production of the new Hollywood powerhouse—the Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation.

		Zanuck's claim that the movie was “more biography than plot” was not, however, inaccurate: The Public Enemy might fairly be described as a composite biography of a neighbourhood criminal gang such as Chicago's Valley gang, led by Patrick “Paddy the Bear” Ryan until his assassination in 1920.
