And that's not a little thing, some movies were completely ruined because of the executive decisions in the editing, Orson Welles always said Citizen Kane was the ONLY movie where he had real control, all the others were modified by someone else, not him. |
Well yeah. But that's just the politics of business. The guy that puts up the money ultimately has final say, but that's not his job, it's more of a benefit of being rich. He owns the film so he can do what he wants. The producers job is to make sure the movie is done on time, under budget (if he can).
