Interesting, a sad story about how they ruined his film. I haven't seen this one, but I loved The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Key Largo, and so forth. And his last one, an adaption of the Dubliner's short story "The Dead." It's beautiful!
It's on YouTube and about seventy minutes long. I almost don't want to watch, knowing how much the studio chopped it up...but like you I love his other films. Asphalt Jungle is excellent.
It isn't the same kind of look at the making of a film, because it's fiction, but I remember liking Scott Fitzgerald's unfinished novel The Last Tycoon. Fitzgerald was an insider (and a battered one). Monroe Stahr the producer MC, is a veiled portrait of Irving Thalberg.

Yeah, it's a great book (or half of one!). I haven't seen the film version, but I should reread and then watch.
