French Film Industry Struggles Despite Paris Releases
In Paris this week three major productions led by Fabiola Du Guesclin and Man with Clay Hands hit theaters. Yet the industry suffers: only 76 of 254 French studios produced in 1948, top directors idle, and half of film workers unemployed. Manon costs soared to 125 million francs, but theaters and distributors claimed most receipts leaving only 10 million francs to producer P. E. Decharne.
