The film's central character "Eddie Mannix" was based on the real studio executive E.J. Mannix, who served not only as a producer, but also as legendary "fixer" at MGM. One of his most lasting contributions to motion picture history is a ledger he kept at the studio listing the budget and income of every film made at MGM from 1924 to 1962. It resides in the Margaret Herrick Library at the Fairbanks Center for Motion Picture Study in Beverly Hills, California.
