		Goldwyn's quaint sayings were the product of his top-notch publicity department rather than his own spontaneous quips; in any event, they obscure his very great contribution to our film heritage, for Samuel Goldwyn was perhaps our most outstanding independent producer.
		Goldwyn desperately wanted his own Garbo, his own Dietrich; when he saw Sten in a German version of THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV (1931), he signed her to an exclusive contract, brought her to Hollywood, started the publicity machine rolling, and spent millions trying to make her a Garbo-Dietrich star.
		Goldwyn once again hired Howard Hawks to direct, who in turn commissioned second unit director Richard Rosson to film real logging operations, terrific footage that is liberally used in the movie's first half hour.
