From the little guys like feisty Mark Dintenfass and his 1905 Actophone unit (an unlicensed Pathe 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 - films, stars, successes, and catastrophes. Numerous rare photographs are included.
