David O. Selznick |
 | | But Selznick chafed at Paramount's strict regimentation and, when he was asked to take a heavy salary cut during the depths of the Depression in 1931, he resigned. |
| | Selznick's next stop was RKO, where he instituted a unit production scheme in which he would oversee the studio's top productions while the more routine features were supervised by a staff of seven assistant producers. |
| | Selznick's ultimate triumph was GONE WITH THE WIND, on which he enlisted the services of six directors (George Cukor, Sam Wood, William Cameron Menzies, King Vidor, Victor Fleming and himself) and countless screenwriters. |
