The RKO Story
RKO Radio Pictures existed in an atmosphere of almost chaos, from its optimistic beginnings in 1928 until it collapsed into ruins at the hands of Howard Hughes nearly 30 years later. Yet in that show history RKO made some of the greatest films and featured some of the finest talents ever to emerge from Hollywood.
The Columbia Story
Since 1924, Columbia Pictures has made over 3,000 movies, becoming one of the most successful studios of Hollywood's Golden Age. Every one of those movies, from It Happened One Night to Men In Black, appears in noted film critic Clive Hirschhorn's grandly oversize, picture-filled book. Also included are a synopsis, casting, lively critical commentary, running time, and an extensive timeline of every Columbia film that ever won, or received, a nomination for an Oscar. "Excellent."--Publishers Weekly.
Death of the Moguls
Death of the Moguls is a detailed assessment of the last days of the “rulers of film.” Wheeler Winston Dixon examines the careers of such moguls as Harry Cohn at Columbia, Louis B. Mayer at MGM, Jack L. Warner at Warner Brothers, Adolph Zukor at Paramount, and Herbert J. Yates at Republic in the dying days of their once-mighty empires. He asserts that the sheer force of personality and business acumen displayed by these moguls made the studios successful; their deaths or departures hastened the studios’ collapse. Almost none had a plan for leadership succession; they simply couldn't imagine a world in which they didn’t reign supreme. Covering 20th Century-Fox, Selznick International ...

Twentieth Century Fox
Here it is: the first-time look at the remarkable American multinational mass media empire and its century of entertainment—the story of Twentieth Century Fox (1915–2015). Or, to borrow the title of a classic 1959 Fox film, The Best of Everything. This is the complete revelatory story—bookended by empire builders William Fox and Rupert Murdoch—aimed as both a grand, entertaining, nostalgic and picture-filled interactive read and the ultimate guide to all things Twentieth Century Fox. The controversies and scandals are here, as are the extraordinary achievements. Among other firsts, the book offers fun tours of its historic production and ranch facilities including never-before-told stories about its stars and creative personalities (Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, James Dean, and Shirley Temple got started there). Finally, it is the first such work approved by the company and utilizing its own unique resources. The authors primarily tell a celebratory tale, but most importantly, an accurate one.
