Thank you very much! I guess I was too impatient, I should read some more, those threads look very useful. I noticed there was info there about sounds, subtitles and music, but I'm not sure about max. number of actors in a movie?

I tried the Sandbox mode the last time I was playing, and this made it possible to skip the opening and go straight to business. But I could only start in 1960, and I have the feeling I don't have everything I'm supposed to have yet. Is the sandbox mode similiar to the tycoon mode as in you have to pass through years and win prices etc to unlock stuff? Will I unlock more moves, costumes and other stuff by playing in sandbox mode?

I'm going to start a new game in sandbox mode now, and see if the game gets less frustrating.
