SOURCE NOTES 269
Chapter 3: The Lady and the Lion
The sources are mostly Rosalind s MGM films and loan-outs (1934 41) with dialogue
taken from the movies themselves. King Vidor s preferences for the female lead in The
Citadel, none of which included Rosalind, are in the form of casting suggestions in KVC-
USC, Box 30.4.
The origins of the visually complex MGM logo are explained in Peter Hay s MGM:
When the Lion Roars (Atlanta: Turner Publishing, 1991), 312; and Charles Higham s
Merchant of Dreams: Louis B. Mayer, MGM, and the Secret Hollywood (New York: Dell/Laurel,
1993), 77.
Chapter 4: The Lady and the Mogul
Rosalind relates her encounter with Harry Cohn in Banquet, 110 111. Cohn s office is
described by Bernard F. Dick, The Merchant Prince of Poverty Row: Harry Cohn of Columbia
Pictures (Lexington: University Press of Kentucky, 1993), 72 73.
The details of Rosalind s Columbia contract can be found in RRP-UCLA, Box 24.
The two most useful discussions of His Girl Friday appear in Gerald Mast,
Howard Hawks, Storyteller (New York: Oxford University Press, 1982), 208 242; and Todd
McCarthy, Howard Hawks: The Grey Fox of Hollywood (New York: Grove, 1997), 278 287.
