Book Presentation:
Wonderful huge oversize (9 1/2 x 12 3/4) volume. United Artists is alone among film studios in that it was founded, not by buisness tycoons, but by four of the most famous artists in motion pictures--Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, Charles Chaplin, and master director D. W. Griffith. The company was idealistically set up in 1919 to act as a distribution agency to give independent producers freedom of expression away from the restraints of the major studios. United Artists boasts the three biggest money making spinning series in cinema history----James Bond, The Pink Panther, and Rocky movies. Hundreds of photos on all the movies released since the publication date of this text. About 398 pages on heavy glossy paper.
