Film historian Jeremy Byman writes that up until 1946 studios were selling movie tickets at record numbers, but the entire film industry then fell into " a financial abyss ," with ticket sales falling 75 percent during the following years.

According to Byman, " there were no fewer than ninety-six " other companies in competition during that period, and included some of Hollywood's biggest names: Frank Capra, John Ford, William Wyler, Howard Hawks, Leo McCarey, and George Stevens.

Studios no longer controlled all aspects of production, and from then on, notes Byman, " each film would now have to be sold on its own merits.

While Pollack and Byman argued that such a containment strategy would be very difficult to make work given the historical problems of doing so and the specific problems created by previous American actions in Iraq, they also concluded that containment would likely prove America's least bad option because U.

Biographer Jeremy Byman observes that Grove " was the one person at Intel who refused to let the company rest on its laurels.

Those restrictions, states Byman, were placed " under the guise of protecting domestic culture " and to limit the outflow of money to America.

Byman notes that it was the " first sound film about antiblack racism.

In 2007, Pollack co-authored the book Things Fall Apart: Containing the Spillover from an Iraqi Civil War with Daniel L. Byman.

Pollack and Byman argued that while spillover can range from modest effects to very severe problems ( like causing other civil wars or triggering regional wars among neighboring states ) that the early evidence so far suggested that the United States should be prepared for Iraq's potential descent into all-out civil war to be on the worse end of the spectrum.
