Description:
This leading industry publication, published out of New York, was founded in 1915 by Wid Gunning (who called his publication Wid's Daily until 1922). The Film Daily documented the rise of the Hollywood studios, the transition to sound, and the evolution of the American film industry (the paper finally shuttered in 1970). The Film Daily included feature reviews, news stories, and advertisements, but its extensive coverage of short films in the 1920s and 30s distinguished it from other trade papers of the period. -- Eric Hoyt, 2011/2013

SHOWMANSHIP \ Ouiding production mind of 20th Century-Fox, able Darryl " F. Zanuck again scores a typical coup. In This Is My Affair, Producer Zanuck capitalizes on Robert Taylor's flood-peak fame by giving him the first virile, violent role of his career — and co-starring Taylor's much publicized, real-life sweetheart, Barbara Stanwyck, with full sway given at last to her compelling, emotional talents. The story is \ the most important either of these top stars ever had. Rough Victor McLaglen — rougher, tougher than ever I — rounds out the sure-fire cast. Hollywood predicts great added popularity for all three. Robert Taylor is a naval officer. Dishonorable discharge, honorable love, criminal associates, a death sentence complicate his life. Barbara Stanwyck has a shadowed past. Circumstances force her into disreputable company. Her great love for Taylor has grim results. Victor McLaglen is the law's worst enemy and his own. No soft sentimentality weakens his resolve to boldly have his will, come what mav.
