Trade ReviewBalio's [two] volumes are the finest economic and production history of an American studio yet written. - Scott Simmon, Film Quarterly ""Tino Balio's superb narration of events and personalities is must reading for anyone fascinated by the motion picture industry and behind the scenes stories of one of the true corporate giants in the heyday of the movies!"" - Bookwatch: The Midwest Book Review ""United Artists: The Company That Changed the Film Industry will make students of Hollywood wish that all studio histories could be fleshed out. Certainly, Balio has provided a more-than-satisfactory model for them."" - Leonard J. Leff, Reviews in American History
