M-G-M: Hollywood’s Greatest Backlot is the illustrated history of the soundstages and outdoor sets where Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer produced many of the world’s most famous films. During its Golden Age, the studio employed the likes of Garbo, Astaire, and Gable, and produced innumerable iconic pieces of cinema such as The Wizard of Oz, Singin’ in the Rain, and Ben-Hur.
It is estimated that a fifth of all films made in the United States prior to the 1970s were shot at MGM studios, meaning that the gigantic property was responsible for hundreds of iconic sets and stages, often utilizing and transforming minimal spaces and previously used props, to create some of the most recognizable and identifiable landscapes of modern movie culture.
All of this happened behind closed doors, the backlot shut off from the public in a veil of secrecy and movie magic. M-G-M: Hollywood’s Greatest Backlot highlights this fascinating film treasure by recounting the history, popularity, and success of the MGM company through a tour of its physical property.
Featuring the candid, exclusive voices and photographs from the people who worked there, and including hundreds of rare and unpublished photograph

Not something that we see all the time in romances, you know our heroines are famous for their denial but hey that is what helps create conflict. Emm! I appreciate all your hard work and effort. For this quality production and book size, the price is astoundingly low.. Wright's view of the law and justification is a gem (chapters 9 and 10). This is my new favoritebecause she wrote a heroine with an open heart that refuses to bow to conventions and what is proper. I've had both those things happen in my life and it is nice to see it mirrored in fiction.Another thing that struck a deep chord with me was Ms. Vallotton's book Supernatural Ways of Royalty has helped to transform me. It often seems that comics can be quite elusive when it comes to discussing their craft. This exceptionally focused book concentrates on the value of generating win/loss reports to improve sales by making full use of the knowledge your salespeople learn in the course of their work.

A production company in its truest sense, the eventual 1924 merger of Metro, Goldwyn, and Mayer pioneered an assembly-line approach to filmmaking and initial profits paved the way for the introduction of sound stages and innovations in set design, special effects, and many other aspects of film production. .
