Yep, they believed in a “pure form”, utopian ideas of socialism that existed only in their books and minds. Real life proved them wrong, we all know that.
As for Goldwynn, I remember reading what he said about movie business: this is the only business where you get paid upfront before the customer even see the product and you keep the money regardless of if they liked it or not….
