Saw this for the first time on TCM recently. In the 1995 doc, an interviewee mentions that he provided a private screening of “Making Love” for an unnamed new executive and his family, and that the exec was intensely outraged when the subject matter finally sank in. Any ideas???
According to Buzzfeed, it was 20th Century Fox’s new owner, Marvin Davis. The movie was originally greenlit by production chief Sherry Lansing, who - coincidentally or not - departed Fox shortly after Davis took over.
Cool, thanks.
