Synopsis
United Artists was a unique motion picture company in the history of Hollywood. Founded by Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, and director D.W. Griffith--four of the greatest names of the silent era--United Artists functioned as a distribution company for independent producers. In this lively and detailed history of United Artists from 1919 through 1951, film scholar Tino Balio chronicles the company's struggle for survival, its rise to prominence as the Tiffany of the industry, and its near extinction in the 1940s. This edition is updated with a new introduction by Balio that places in relief UA's operations for those readers who may be unfamiliar with film industry practices and adds new perspective to the company's place within Hollywood., United Artists was a unique motion picture company in the history of Hollywood.

    I purchased three pieces of vintage art in marble frames from this seller. Unfortunately, the seller used sticky packing tape to wrap all three paintings and let it drape over onto the paintings as shown in the picture where I'm lifting it off. This pulled off some of the stone and paint from the picture and left a gummy, nasty residue on the marble frames. I reached out to the seller but the only response was that I could return it. I won't buy from this seller again and do not recommend them.

    I. made every effort to resolve the buyer's concerns by offering both a full refund and a partial refund if they chose to keep the item. However, despite my willingness to work with them, they still left negative feedback.
