Quotes from The Goldwyn Follies
Oliver Merlin:
I'm a producer of movies. I get my wagonloads of poets and dramatists, but I can't buy common sense - I cannot buy humanity!
Hazel Dawes: Well, I don't know why, Mr. Merlin. There's an awful lot of it.
Oliver Merlin: Yes, I know, but the moment I buy it, it turns into something else, usually genius, and it isn't worth a dime. Now, if you could stay just as simple as your are, you'd be invaluable to me. I'll put you on my staff. I'll give you a title, "Miss Humanity". Don't rush, you can finish your ice cream soda.

Facts about The Goldwyn Follies
One of the films included in "The Fifty Worst Films of All Time (and how they got that way)" by Harry Medved and Randy Lowell.
A large number of writers were hired at one time or another to write the script, including Bert Kalmar, Harry Ruby, George Jessel, Harry W. Conn, Alan Campbell, Anita Loos, John Emerson, Alice Duer Miller and 'Dorothy Parker'. Samuel Goldwyn rejected their scripts and finally hired Ben Hecht (who wrote his script in two weeks) for the final version. It is not known if any of the earlier work was used in Hecht's version.
This was the second film to utilize the Max Factor Company's new invention of 'Pan-Cake' makeup for color film. The first was Vogues of 1938 .
