"In England, the courts are always rather shocked at the astringency of terms to the players in Hollywood contracts. They are so obviously in favor of the studios.

It was a decision that affected every single studio and star.
When the case was won in Superior Court, the studio appealed to the Supreme Court. On February 3, 1945, word came to Olivia that the Supreme Court had refused to review the case. This was because the case had been
