Before the 1960s, some major Hollywood studios, including Paramount and Columbia, filmed everything on studio sets. At the time, film making was like a production line, and often the writer of the screenplay wouldn't even meet with the director and wouldn't participate at all in the production.
一九六○年代前的好萊塢曾經集結派拉蒙、歌倫比亞等大型片廠，所有場景都在片廠內搭建，當時是電影生產線，編劇寫完劇本沒看過導演的大有人在，編劇並不參與製作。
