Thalberg-Last of the Tycoons,
By Cheryl "Cheryl" (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Thalberg: The Last Tycoon and the World of M-G-M (Hardcover)
This was the kind of book you want to memorize if you are interested in the early beginnings of MGM.
Thalberg started out as a secretary to Carl Lemelle, and his brillance and observance of the film industry was noticed by Lemelle and Iriving was placed at Universal as Producer. He took a company with low revenues, and with poor management and made it into a thriving movie making business. He left there to join forces with Mayer, and they made the deals that subsequently formed MGM. You will learn much about other producers- and how Irving operated and made MGM a multi-million dollar business. The journalism is very accurate. I could hardly put this book down for one who wants to digest the early makings of MGM. I also found the spot online where THalberg had his "Ocean Front" home in Santa Monica. Amazing what the internet can tell you. I would recommend this book. Nice B & W pics too. Barb |
