Summary
In Goldwyn: A Biography, Pulitzer Prize–winning author A. Scott Berg delves deep into the life of the man who helped shape Hollywood as we know it—Samuel Goldwyn. Known as much for his malapropisms as his cinematic genius, Goldwyn was a driven, enigmatic figure who left an indelible mark on American film. Berg's meticulous research and narrative flair bring to life Goldwyn’s immigrant beginnings, rise as a pioneering movie mogul, and creation of a legacy through films that still resonate today. This is more than a biography—it’s a richly woven portrait of an industry in formation, a powerful story of ambition, brilliance, and contradiction. An essential read for film historians, classic Hollywood enthusiasts, and anyone fascinated by the golden age of cinema. This copy is in collectible condition, protected in Brodart, and ideal for lovers of Old Hollywood.
