Hughes Hands Off: RKO Pictures - A Success Story

I would love feedback on the history of RKO Pictures as a successful movie studio still in business today and Wikipedia info boxes on the various films they produced over the decades starting after Howard Hughes buys them. (My POD for this being that Howard Hughes leaves the studio to do its own stuff without him micromanaging everything, as hard as that may be.)

Nice infobox, and it looks an interesting movie. Could you tell me a bit about these films?

Not really, just the following from the Dirty Harry wiki

"The script, titled Dead Right, was originally written by Harry Julian and Rita M. Fink, a story about a hard-edged New York City police inspector, Harry Callahan, determined to stop Travis, a serial killer, by any means at his disposal. The original draft ended with a police sniper, instead of Callahan, shooting Scorpio. Another earlier version of the story was set in Seattle, Washington. Four more drafts of the script were written."

Fair enough. Still, like your infoboxes!
Movie infoboxes aren't done enough.
