Auteur Watch - Eloyce Gist

Tis a sad story indeed.  You marry into the family business, or Hollywood in the case of husband James Gist, and you make a couple films.  Then the husband dies and, just as lions will try to ignore the offspring of a fellow lion that dies, Hollywood circles the wagons and says that James Gist was too much of a perfectionist, taking two years to make a short.  What's that?  Why is that?  Plus, he made a film with the word "Hell" in the title.  That must've been a big no-no for the 1930s.
