Dar Al Zanuck is one of the stars in the "One Size Fits All" (1975) "universe". It is a reference to Darryl Zanuck (1902-1979), a US motion-picture producer who, as Warner Brothers head of production, helped the studio transition into the sound era. Later, he co-founded Twentieth Century Pictures with Joseph Schenck in 1933. He produced such legendary films as "The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit" (1956), "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" (1952), and "All About Eve" (1950). Zanuck managed Twentieth Century-Fox over five decades.
