Title: Mayer and Thalberg
Description: What made Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer was not its possessions, but its people, men and women under contract to put together and appear in the motion pictures it produced. Rich with anecdotes and never before told stories, this book is an eyewitness look at the way Hollywood was born. Samuel Marx knew all the people he writes about. He digs under the facade, telling the real story, the grit, dirt, and emotion behind the glitz, smiles and songs of the MGM studios.
