GBS was not happy with the script. The political content of his play

Hi Reg,
They should've stayed with GBS' pro-British propaganda? Or rather his
anti-British propaganda? What you offer sounds like a plagiarized
play program note.

George Bernard Shaw was a Fabian socialist. He believed that the aim
of most people of the society of his day was to become so wealthy as
to become economic parasites who didn't produce and didn't contribute.
He didn't like this, so he preached against it in his works. Since
producing wealthy parasites was what the business side of Hollywood
has always been about, it's no wonder they emasculated his script.
