The Movie That Killed Its Own Genre

One movie didn't just flop. It practically killed its own genre. An Oscar-winning director. A studio founded by Charlie Chaplin himself. A budget that exploded from 12 million to 44 million dollars (to 179 million dollars), and a box office of about 3 million. 1.5 million feet of film, 220 hours of raw footage, iron bars on the editing room windows, and a first cut that ran FIVE HOURS AND TWENTY FIVE MINUTES This is the story of how one film sank a legendary Hollywood studio, ended the era when directors could do whatever they wanted, and left behind the line you still see at the end of almost every movie: "No animals were harmed" Was it really one of the biggest flops ever made, or a masterpiece the world just wasn't ready for?
