Description

Reagan tackles the important entertainment question: “Does the public want pictures ending with a pool of blood ?”

DS, nine pages, 8.5 x 11, March 16, 1955. The minutes for the meeting of the Association of Motion Picture Producers (AMPP), of which Reagan was then secretary, on March 16, 1955. The main topic under discussion was how to counter declining movie attendance. A question posed by one participant: “Does the public want pictures ending with a pool of blood or do they want those where the characters live happily ever after?” In fine condition, with mild toning and binding holes to left margin. A lively look at the times when Reagan was in the film business and television was brand new. R&R COA.
