This is what he himself says of Adverse: "This is the toughest picture I ever made, mainly because for once in my career, instead of wondering if I have enough story, I have to be very careful not to neglect any part of my overabundance. I never understood why people speak of Anthony as being so long. After all, 600,000 people bought the novel and an estimated 3,000,000 people "THE TRAIL OF THE LONESOME PINE" "Life ripens swiftly in these lonely hills, Out of their ancient hates, relentless wills . . .

So length could not have mattered very much. It had popular appeal and that's the best reason I know for making any story. After all, the only measure of a story is whether the girl who works in a box factory in Kankakee and the boy who jerks soda water at the corner drugstore will like it. The publicity men can talk about its being a sensational best seller, an artistic masterpiece and a literary milestone, but Jack Warner and I like it for the same reason— because it's perfect picture material.

In addition to five different national backgrounds, we have the first sets of two different operas, L'Orpheo and La Duchessa de Farrara. For each of these we used a full pit orchestra. There are so many changes of mood in the story of Anthony that the scoring must be more subtly done than usual. Therefore, I look on this assignment as scoring five separate pictures."
