Personal Fact of Samuel Goldwyn
Samuel Goldwyn was one of the leading film producers of America. Starting his career as a salesman in a glove making company he rose to become one of the most well-known names in the history of Hollywood. The company he established along with Jesse L. Lasky and Cecil B. DeMille produced the first feature length film. Later he moved on to lay the groundwork for two well-known production houses; the Paramount and the MGM. However, Goldwyn was not very comfortable in working with others.
That is why he decided to become an independent producer and established Samuel Goldwyn Productions. It was a production only unit, which released many successful films in its 36 years of existence and Samuel Goldwyn was its sole proprietor. He had a penchant for perfection and knew what he wanted.
Consequently, he often bullied his co workers into rewriting, re-cutting or even re-casting the films. Moreover, he had an eye for spotting talents and had worked with many well-known names in the Hollywood film industry. Many of his films are remembered still today.
