David O. Selznick was a major Hollywood mogul, the producer of “Gone with the Wind” and “Spellbound.” He was also a workaholic micromanager who recited endless memos throughout the night. Selznick tried to dictate every detail — from the size of Rhett Butler’s collars to Alfred Hitchcock’s camera angles. Produced by Eric Molinsky.
