''No Minor Vices'' is a 1948 American black-and-white comedy film written by Arnold Manoff and directed by Lewis Milestone〔 with Robert Aldrich as 1st assistant director. Created for David Loew's Enterprise Productions, the film was released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer,〔 and is the last of four films made by Dana Andrews for Lewis Milstone.〔 ==Background== After the expensive flop of the film ''Arch of Triumph'' bankrupted Enterprise Productions, a film which United Artists called "probably the greatest commercial failure in the history of motion pictures", ''No Minor Vices'' was conceived as a means to keep Enterprise going until all possible revenues could be gotten from ''Arch of Triumph''.〔 Enterprise co-founder Charles Einfeld gave Lewis Milestone a title ''No Minor Vices'' and suggested he create film to go with it.〔 It became literally a matter Milestone calling in friends to make the film, with Dana Andrews even investing some of his own money in the project, but losing his investment when the film bombed. Andrews felt that part of ''No Minor Vices'' poor box office showings were due to the film being released by MGM rather than by United Artists, and with MGM not doing a decent a job in promoting as might have UA. Milestone chose to "play it safe" with the film. In order to keep audiencs interested in the film's simple plot line, Milestone would sometimes cut to a scene that had a little man in a window making cigars and reacting to things that had nothing to do with the scene just intercut. Film editor Robert Parrish reported that if a scene was lousy, Milestone could cut to this little guy, but the running gag was not enough upon which to build a film. ''No Minor Vices'' kept Enterprise alive as a company, but money was tight.
