United Artists was a unique motion picture company in the history
of Hollywood. Founded by Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, Douglas
Fairbanks, and director D.W. Griffith--four of the greatest names
of the silent era--United Artists functioned as a distribution
company for independent producers. In this lively and detailed
history of United Artists from 1919 through 1951, film scholar Tino
Balio chronicles the company's struggle for survival, its rise to
prominence as the Tiffany of the industry, and its near extinction
in the 1940s.
This edition is updated with a new introduction by Balio that
places in relief UA's operations for those readers who may be
unfamiliar with film industry practices and adds new perspective to
the company's place within Hollywood.
