Summary:

The business of filmmaking began with the Thomas Edison Studio in
West Orange, New Jersey. Many studios have come and gone since then.
From the little guys like feisty Mark Dintenfass and his 1905
"Actophone" unit (an unlicensed Pathé camera furtively grinding out
films in defiance of the Motion Picture Patents Company) to
heavyweights like Samuel Goldwyn and M-G-M, 66 studios of all sizes
and specialties are covered in this book. The culmination of many
years of exhaustive research, these detailed histories discuss films,
stars, successes, and catastrophes. Numerous rare photographs are
included.
