Goldwyn A Biography of the Man Behind the Myth [Paperback]

Arthur Marx shows us a Goldwyn who was a highly complex and puzzling individual. He supplies in abundance the famous Goldwynismsand a good many stories printed here for the first time. Rich in anecdotal detail about both Goldwyns personal and his professional life, this biography is a testament to his role as both a perfectionist in art and a founder of one of Americas great industries.The story of Samuel Goldwyn is as much the history of Hollywood and the motion picture business as it is the story of one man. Yet to many, the man who founded the studios that evolved into Paramount and MGM was simply a buffoon, better suited to coining malapropisms than for being a producer.
