Established in 1919 by Hollywood's top talent United Artists has
had an illustrious history, from Hollywood minor to industry leader
to a second-tier media company in the shadow of MGM. This edited
collection brings together leading film historians to examine key
aspects of United Artists' centennial history from its origins to
the sometimes chaotic developments of the last four decades. The
focus is on several key executives - ranging from Joseph Schenck to
Paula Wagner and Tom Cruise - and on many of the people making
films for United Artists, including Gloria Swanson, David O.
Selznick, Kirk Douglas, the Mirisch brothers and Woody Allen.
Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, individual case studies
explore the mutually supportive but also in places highly
contentious relationships between United Artists and its producers,
the difficult balance between artistic and commercial objectives,
and the resulting hits and misses (among them The General, the Pink
Panther franchise, Heaven's Gate, Cruising, and Hot Tub Time
Machine). The second volume in the Routledge Hollywood Centenary
series, United Artists is a fascinating and comprehensive study of
the firm's history and legacy, perfect for students and researchers
of cinema and film history, media industries, and Hollywood.
