I totally want in on a point/counterpoint, I just don't know on what. I could probably argue with someone that the auteur theory is overrated. And that studio interference is often a force for good, and their limits make a movie better, in many cases.

Wrote a paper on studio involvement for a class and you are right. Especially when it comes to endings. Studios normally get it right.

People forget how much of a collaborative effort a movie is. They think the director is the sole person responsible for great movies. I'd argue that producers are more influential on whether a movie is good or not.
