Leni made propaganda. I get offers to do this all the time and I would rather sweep floors for a living. There is good money to made in propaganda, though, if you are good at it.

And Leni never had to pitch anything. Hitler came to her with wads of cash in hand and an offer of an extended all expenses paid vacation in a nearby camp if she said no.

Studio heads like to think they have that kind of power, but I have yet to meet one that really does.
