In response to your message of Thu Sep 29 12:25:57 1983:

   It's not entirely true that a film will always get released; there was an
article about two years ago listing a number of films which have been gathering
dust for years. Some of them did badly in previews; others may have been halted
in post-production, especially if the B-school types you mention included
clauses limiting payment to actors until the film was released (there were some
pretty heavy names mentioned). Unfortunately, all I recall of this article was
that I read it in an airline magazine, possibly one of the ones that does
reprints; does anyone else remember seeing it?
