Goldwyn's Hollywood Story
THE GOLDWYN FOLLIES (United Artists, 1938), directed by George Marshall, produced by Samuel Goldwyn, who doesn't appear, is a lavish scale musical revue with a slight plot focused on Oliver Merlin (Adolphe Menjou) a prominent movie producer. While attending a sneak preview of his latest movie, "The Happy Tango" he finds audiences laughing at leading lady Olga Sanava's (Vera Zorina) death scene. On location for his upcoming production, Merlin overhears Hazel Dawes (Andrea Leeds), a simple country girl, watching a rehearsal, telling her friend Ada (Nydia Westman) how movies really need to be more true to life. Because of her honesty about film-making, Merlin takes her back with him to Hollywood, hires her as technical adviser, "Miss Humanity," where she is to watch "The Forgotten Dance," an upcoming production, and offer opinions on what should or should not be done. While incognito with Glory (Ella Logan) acting as her chaperon, she meets Danny Beecher (Kenny Baker), a hamburger flipper in a lunch wagon, with a pleasing singing voice. Hazel succeeds in launching his movie career playing a singing gondolier. After Merlin, who plans on marrying Hazel upon completion of "The Forgotten Dance," discovers her love for Danny, he intends on taking him taken out of the movie unless Hazel agrees on becoming his wife.

On the musical program: "Romeo and Juliet Ballet" (performed by Vera Zorina/American Ballet Company); "Here Pussy Pussy" (by Ray Golden and Sid Kuller, sung by Ritz Brothers); "Love Walked In," "Love Walked In" (by George and Ira Gershwin, both sung by Kenny Baker); La Travita Arias: "Libiam Nei Lieti Calici" (sung by Charles Kullmann and Helen Jepson)/ "Sempre Libra" (Jepson and Kullmann); "Love Walked In" (sung by Baker and Andrea Leeds, singing dubbed by Virginia Verrill); "I Was Doing All Right" (sung by Ella Logan); "Love Is Here to Stay" (Kenny Baker); "La Serenata" (Helen Jepson); "Spring Again" (by Kurt Weill and Ira Gershwin, sung by Kenny Baker); Water Nymph Ballet (performed by the American Ballet, Vera Zorina); "Serenade to a Fish" (The Ritz Brothers); "Spring Again" (Kenny Baker); "I Love to Rhyme" (sung by Phil Baker, Charlie McCarthy and Edgar Bergen); and "Love Walked In" (finale with entire cast).

In spite of Menjou heading the cast (even with his misspelled first name reading Adolph), it's Andrea Leeds who carries the film. With such a fine assortment of talent, lavish Technicolor, with the final score composed by the legendary George Gershwin, this Goldwyn production reportedly flopped, understandably, yet a failure that could have been avoided. A "Ziegfeld Follies" Goldwyn style, his attempt to please the masses with comedy, opera, ballet choreographed by George Ballachine, upscale music and lavish production numbers, doesn't always work. At nearly two hours, the final result is a mixed bag, ranging from entertaining to extremely dull. On my initial viewing of this musical hodgepodge on broadcast television (WPIX, Channel 11, in New York City) back in the 1970s, it was one of the few classic films that had me changing channels or turning off the TV at midway point. With the first 20 minutes being close to perfect entertainment, what drew me away were the ballet numbers; and Kenny Baker's tenor-izing singing. Granted, "Love Walked In" is a wonderful song, but quite corny when sung in the lunch wagon and/ or at the public beach. Sadly, Baker, simply fails to register well on screen. The highlights enjoyed, however, were the ventriloquist act of Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy; The Ritz Brothers' running from the studio guards only to return in studio guard uniforms, followed by their wacky audition in Merlin's casting office singing "Here Pussy, Pussy, Pussy" climaxed by an abundance of running kitty kats. This scene is reminiscent to the Yacht Club Boys' audition act for Warren William in STAGE STRUCK (Warner Brothers, 1936), but the Ritz rendition comes off hilariously better, at least in one's humble opinion. Their comedy antics are a matter of taste, yet this is one of the few times these three zanies were in rare form. Their subsequent two comedy acts, however, don't come off as well. Although not an opera buff, "La Traviata" performed by Metropolitan Opera Star Helen Jepson is well done. Bobby Clark, formerly part of the Clark and McCullough team, as a casting director, along with Phil Harris, do provide some amusing moments. For star gazers, try to locate Jerome Cowan playing a movie director and future movie tough guy, Alan Ladd, as one of the audition singers!!!

Although my personal feelings remain basically the same, I'm a bit more tolerable towards THE GOLDWYN FOLLIES than I once was. In spite of its pros and cons, it did enjoy frequent revivals during the cable channel years, first on American Movie Classics (1993-94), and Turner Classic Movies (TCM premiere: January 1, 2006). It's also available on video and DVD.

Did Sam Goldwyn have his very own "Miss Humanity" before preparing for this one? Hard to say, yet THE GOLDWYN FOLLIES being a Goldwyn folly, had no serious damage done to his reputation as one of the finest Hollywood Moguls of his time, especially with great film hits into his future before retiring in 1959.

Stream Goldwyn: The Man and His Movies, watch trailers, see the cast, and more at TV GuideLike many Hollywood pioneers, Goldwyn was born in Europe in modest circumstances, began his professional life in America in another business (selling gloves), and then fell into motion pictures, in Goldwyn's case, just as production was moving to the West Coast. His first film, with partner Jessie L. Lasky, was The Squaw Man, directed by Cecil B. DeMille and shot on location in the newly minted community of Hollywood. Goldwyn's career was slow getting started, but he hit his stride in the sound era, with literary adaptations of Sinclair Lewis's Arrowsmith and Dodsworth, Lillian Hellman's These Three and The Little Foxes (which Goldwyn, famous for slips of speech, always referred to as The Three Little Foxes), Sidney Kingsley's Dead End, and Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights. Goldwyn finally reached the pinnacle of movie success in 1946 with The Best Years of Our Lives, which brought him his first Oscar for Best Picture. His postwar career arc was largely downward; two big musicals, Guys and Dolls and especially Porgy and Bess, failed to capture the public attention in spite of lavish production values and big-name casts. The newly filmed interviews, mostly with the surviving members of the Goldwyn family, including his son Sam Goldwyn, Jr., his daughter from his first marriage, Ruth Capps, and his actor grandson Tony Goldwyn, offer insights into Goldwyn the man, while excerpts from vintage interviews with Bette Davis, William Wyler, John Huston, Rouben Mamoulian, Lillian Hellman, Danny Kaye, Dana Andrews, Merle Oberon, and Laurence Olivier (doing a hilarious impression of Goldwyn) offer glimpses into his working persona.", + "page_result": "\n\n \n \n Goldwyn: The Man and His Movies - Where to Watch and Stream - TV Guide\n \n \n \n \n \n

Product Description

\n

Everybody knows the name Goldwyn. Through this documentary, everyone will get to know the man behind the name. Narrated by Academy Award(r)-winning actor Dustin Hoffman, this is a tale not only of a man but of an era and of the history of Hollywood. Co-directed, produced, and written by Emmy Award(r) -winning filmmaker, Peter Jones. Co-written and produced by Pulitzer Prize-winning author, A. Scott Berg, whose book, \"Goldwyn: A Biography\" serves as its basis. The film contains clips from over 38 movies as well as many first-person interviews and a great deal of rare archival footage and photography. This film is in many ways about the American Dream itself. A truly unforgettable story of a lifethat shaped the entire film industry for over fifty years and a legacy that continues to entertain millions throughout the world.

How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don\u2019t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n Sam Goldwyn was the owner of the biggest independent movie studio in the golden age of Hollywood. Sam produced some of the greatest movies ever made. This DVD gives a excellant life story of this man(who is not well known) and gives a superb description of his contibution to the making of these films. The dvd is interesting and will remind the viewer of movies he will want to see again. I give this dvd the highest rateing possible and my highest recommendation-if you like films of the golden ageof Hollywood, you will be glad you got this dvd.\n \n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n After watching Life and Times of Hank Greenberg, I was still really in a documentary mood, so I decided to check out Goldwyn - The Man and His Movies, another documentary about someone I was familiar with, but didn't really know a lot about. With Life and Times of Hank Greenberg, the documentary focuses on a man really loved and respected by many people. Throughout the documentary, there are people who talk about the fact that Hank was their hero, their role model. Goldwyn - The Man and His Movies is a little different: almost everyone interviewed about Samuel Goldwyn mentioned at least once the fact they couldn't stand working with the often abusive and caustic Goldwyn.
Loved or hated, Goldwyn was certainly a Hollywood luminary who went to amazing lengths to insure that he had the final word on what went up on the screen. Considered by most to be a phenomenal success, Goldwyn always seemed to be fighting an uphill battle against insurmountable odds. A true film genius who is known for the mantra "make less films, make better films", Goldwyn always seemed to be at war with everything around him, while constantly doing what he could to 'fit in'.
What I really liked about Goldwyn - The Man and His Movies was the deep sense of irony in the story of Samuel Goldwyn and how his triumphs seemed to be worse for him than his tragedies. Goldwyn - The Man and His Movies does a great job of brining together the many people touched by Samuel Goldwyn to present a unique look at one of Hollywood's most interesting moguls.

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n Extremely well done. My husband and I a huge classic film buffs, and love a good biography of the great stars, directors and producers. This went beyond "good;" it is excellent. Very informative about how Goldfish(Goldwyn) began and became one of the world's best producers. It includes clips of many of his films, also interesting to hear about Danny Kaye, who was such a tremendous talent. I do not believe you will be disappointed.\n \n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n Goldwyn-The Man And His Movies tells the incredible, true story of Samuel Goldwyn who worked his way out of a destitute ghetto in Poland, make his way to America, and become a self-made Hollywood mogul. The documentary takes a good look at both the good and the bad qualities of Goldwyn; and there is much archive footage here along with more recent interview clips with the people who worked closely with Sam Goldwyn.

Sam Goldwyn, born Schmuel Goldfish in Poland, walked to the western European coast and got on board a ship to America when steerage was fifteen dollars. He worked briefly in other fields; but naturally this film focuses on Sam Goldwyn's career in Hollywood. It didn't come easy: We learn of his arch rivalry with Louis B. Mayer and we see just how difficult it really was for Goldwyn to win an Oscar because he wound up being an independent producer. Of course, some people interviewed in this picture indicate without hesitation that Goldwyn was a \"warlord\" and many go on and on about his terrible temper. Nevertheless, as another reviewer notes, nobody who worked with Goldwyn seemed to regret it. Goldwyn produced pictures of very high quality; although of course we see some of his mistakes. Instead of making Goldwyn a lesser man, Goldwyn's mistakes merely prove his humanity.

The documentary also provides us with interesting clips of some of the very best moments from many of Goldwyn's best films. We get a few clips from Wuthering Heights; and the clips from The Best Years Of Our Lives, the only film that ever earned Goldwyn himself an Oscar, are outstanding. We learn how Goldwyn was able to come back despite failures; he was a clever albeit neurotic man who knew how to reinvent himself as time passed.

The DVD is short on extras but we do get a filmography for Goldwyn; and if you want to use it there is a scene selection feature as well.

It may seem as if I've given it all away but I really haven't. You'll see when you watch this film.

Overall, I highly recommend this documentary for film students, people who enjoy the history of how movies were made by an independent producer in the golden era of Hollywood, and people who enjoy the arts in general may well like this picture. I think Goldwyn-The Man And His Movies was very well made; and I certainly hope that they bring this back into print soon!

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n This is a pretty solid documentary on one of the most influential forces in Hollywood history, complete with all of the reverential praise and sanitised criticisms you'd expect for such a production. Don't expect the warts and all version of his story and you should be pretty happy.\n \n

Product Description

\n

Everybody knows the name Goldwyn. Through this documentary, everyone will get to know the man behind the name. Narrated by Academy Award(r)-winning actor Dustin Hoffman, this is a tale not only of a man but of an era and of the history of Hollywood. Co-directed, produced, and written by Emmy Award(r) -winning filmmaker, Peter Jones. Co-written and produced by Pulitzer Prize-winning author, A. Scott Berg, whose book, \"Goldwyn: A Biography\" serves as its basis. The film contains clips from over 38 movies as well as many first-person interviews and a great deal of rare archival footage and photography. This film is in many ways about the American Dream itself. A truly unforgettable story of a lifethat shaped the entire film industry for over fifty years and a legacy that continues to entertain millions throughout the world.

How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don\u2019t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n Sam Goldwyn was the owner of the biggest independent movie studio in the golden age of Hollywood. Sam produced some of the greatest movies ever made. This DVD gives a excellant life story of this man(who is not well known) and gives a superb description of his contibution to the making of these films. The dvd is interesting and will remind the viewer of movies he will want to see again. I give this dvd the highest rateing possible and my highest recommendation-if you like films of the golden ageof Hollywood, you will be glad you got this dvd.\n \n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n After watching Life and Times of Hank Greenberg, I was still really in a documentary mood, so I decided to check out Goldwyn - The Man and His Movies, another documentary about someone I was familiar with, but didn't really know a lot about. With Life and Times of Hank Greenberg, the documentary focuses on a man really loved and respected by many people. Throughout the documentary, there are people who talk about the fact that Hank was their hero, their role model. Goldwyn - The Man and His Movies is a little different: almost everyone interviewed about Samuel Goldwyn mentioned at least once the fact they couldn't stand working with the often abusive and caustic Goldwyn.
Loved or hated, Goldwyn was certainly a Hollywood luminary who went to amazing lengths to insure that he had the final word on what went up on the screen. Considered by most to be a phenomenal success, Goldwyn always seemed to be fighting an uphill battle against insurmountable odds. A true film genius who is known for the mantra "make less films, make better films", Goldwyn always seemed to be at war with everything around him, while constantly doing what he could to 'fit in'.
What I really liked about Goldwyn - The Man and His Movies was the deep sense of irony in the story of Samuel Goldwyn and how his triumphs seemed to be worse for him than his tragedies. Goldwyn - The Man and His Movies does a great job of brining together the many people touched by Samuel Goldwyn to present a unique look at one of Hollywood's most interesting moguls.

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n Extremely well done. My husband and I a huge classic film buffs, and love a good biography of the great stars, directors and producers. This went beyond "good;" it is excellent. Very informative about how Goldfish(Goldwyn) began and became one of the world's best producers. It includes clips of many of his films, also interesting to hear about Danny Kaye, who was such a tremendous talent. I do not believe you will be disappointed.\n \n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n Goldwyn-The Man And His Movies tells the incredible, true story of Samuel Goldwyn who worked his way out of a destitute ghetto in Poland, make his way to America, and become a self-made Hollywood mogul. The documentary takes a good look at both the good and the bad qualities of Goldwyn; and there is much archive footage here along with more recent interview clips with the people who worked closely with Sam Goldwyn.

Sam Goldwyn, born Schmuel Goldfish in Poland, walked to the western European coast and got on board a ship to America when steerage was fifteen dollars. He worked briefly in other fields; but naturally this film focuses on Sam Goldwyn's career in Hollywood. It didn't come easy: We learn of his arch rivalry with Louis B. Mayer and we see just how difficult it really was for Goldwyn to win an Oscar because he wound up being an independent producer. Of course, some people interviewed in this picture indicate without hesitation that Goldwyn was a \"warlord\" and many go on and on about his terrible temper. Nevertheless, as another reviewer notes, nobody who worked with Goldwyn seemed to regret it. Goldwyn produced pictures of very high quality; although of course we see some of his mistakes. Instead of making Goldwyn a lesser man, Goldwyn's mistakes merely prove his humanity.

The documentary also provides us with interesting clips of some of the very best moments from many of Goldwyn's best films. We get a few clips from Wuthering Heights; and the clips from The Best Years Of Our Lives, the only film that ever earned Goldwyn himself an Oscar, are outstanding. We learn how Goldwyn was able to come back despite failures; he was a clever albeit neurotic man who knew how to reinvent himself as time passed.

The DVD is short on extras but we do get a filmography for Goldwyn; and if you want to use it there is a scene selection feature as well.

It may seem as if I've given it all away but I really haven't. You'll see when you watch this film.

Overall, I highly recommend this documentary for film students, people who enjoy the history of how movies were made by an independent producer in the golden era of Hollywood, and people who enjoy the arts in general may well like this picture. I think Goldwyn-The Man And His Movies was very well made; and I certainly hope that they bring this back into print soon!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 27, 2012
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n This is a pretty solid documentary on one of the most influential forces in Hollywood history, complete with all of the reverential praise and sanitised criticisms you'd expect for such a production. Don't expect the warts and all version of his story and you should be pretty happy.\n \n
