This is the story of a Rich man,William, who falls in love with a poor girl, Peggy, and is caught between the her and his childhood friend Ruby. This story will be uplifting and have a message of love conquering all, which should do well because it will help to cheer people up during the great depression. This story should not break the Hayes code, and the only scene the we may need to watch out for is the final kiss, but if we keep it under 3 seconds we should be fine.
The studio we have chose is MGM for their big productions, and for heir roster of actors that will fit these roles well. Clark Gable and Jean Harlow will be staring as William and Peggy, and their star power will work to get people into the theater. Jeanette Macdonald and Maurice Chevalier will support as Ruby and Carlton (Williams best friend), and their presence will add some more star power and charisma to the cast. Victor Flemming will direct, as he has experience with romances and grand productions. We have also decided to film in black and white, and have MGM's main make up man Jack Dawn work to emphisize the difference between the rich and poor characters.
All in all, while now a days these types of stories have been done to death, back in 35 this was still a relatively fresh concept, and the depression would be the perfect time to unveal it. I believe that this movie would be very successful at this time.
