Résumé 0

This essay explicates the desire to be independent that derives, I argue, from the moguls who invented Hollywood, resistant actors (James Cagney) and 'rogue producers (David O. Selznick). My historical analysis of this desire as it circulates among these figures will be supplemented by script variations of The Lady from Shanghai.
