  William Fox thought talking pictures were a passing fad, like Smellovision years later. He made a full slate of silent movies in 1929, when just about everyone else had given up on them.  That (and the stock market crash that year) led him to bankruptcy. A fascinating fall from Grace for an amazing man.
