The Man Who Was Hollywood (1989)
- brownbat 8y agoAt one point it says Goldwyn's story tells you more about America than anything Goldwyn produced. What sounds like a cheap shot really lands, I'd easily watch a biopic about his escape from Europe, early work in a trade, dealing with prejudice, unusual interactions with Joe Kennedy and Richard Nixon, and massive personal failings with family and women. This is a long read but I'm glad I took the time. It's a beautifully complex portrait of a man in a period we aren't often honest enough about.
