Seeing Donnie's expression, Walker spread his hands and said with a laugh, "What can I say, of course there's no problem now, it's just a matter of how you're going to convince William Fox to join you in this crazy endeavor!"
Donnie smiled and said, "As long as there's money involved, I believe William won't be disinterested."
At present, Fox Films wasn't a behemoth in Hollywood, nor was William Fox a Hollywood mogul. In fact, by the next decade, William Fox would be investigated by the federal antitrust authorities due to the "MGM acquisition case," and he would lose control over Fox Films. By 1936, Fox himself would be bankrupt.
When he died, not a single Hollywood star attended his funeral; by then he had become an outcast in Hollywood!
Donnie didn't know any of this, but that didn't prevent him from meeting with William Fox now.
