Two men were responsible for the tone of Paramount’s films. Vice president Jesse L. Lasky cofounded Paramount with Cecil B. DeMille, Samuel Goldwyn, and Adolph Zukor in 1916. Production head B. P. Schulberg came to Paramount in 1925, after six years as an independent. According to Lasky’s daughter Betty, both married executives spent an inordinate amount of time with the available young women who abounded in Hollywood. As Paramount slid toward insolvency, Lasky and Schulberg planned fifty-seven features. Eight of them would be later acclaimed as works of cinematic art, and all of them were sexy.
