Quote by Ben Hecht

In the court of the movie Owner, none criticized, none doubted. And none dared speak of art. In the Owner's mind art was a synonym for bankruptcy. The movie Owners are the only troupe in the history of entertainment that has never been seduced by the adventure of the entertainment world.

The quote suggests that their narrow-mindedness stifled creativity and limited the potential for artistic exploration in the entertainment world.
