:''See also: Samuel Goldwyn (disambiguation) Samuel Goldwyn Productions was an American film production company founded by Samuel Goldwyn in 1923, and active through 1959. Personally controlled by Goldwyn and focused on production rather than distribution, the company developed into the most financially and critically successful independent production company in Hollywood's Golden Age. As of 2012, Warner Bros. has acquired the distribution rights to films from the library,〔http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=8459〕 with Miramax managing global licensing.〔http://www.deadline.com/2012/04/miramax-to-manage-films-from-samuel-goldwyns-library/〕 == History == After the sale of his previous firm Goldwyn Pictures, Samuel Goldwyn organized his productions beginning in February 1923, initially in a partnership with director George Fitzmaurice. (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, created by merger in April 1924, bears Goldwyn's name, but he did not produce films there.) Goldwyn Production's first release, ''Potash and Perlmutter'', successfully opened in Baltimore on September 6, 1923.〔''Goldwyn: A Biography'', A. Scott Berg〕 Some of the early productions bear the name "Howard Productions", named for Goldwyn's wife Frances Howard, who married Goldwyn in 1925. In the 1920s, Goldwyn released films through Associated First National. Throughout the 1930s, Goldwyn released most of his films through United Artists. Beginning in 1941, Goldwyn released most of his films through RKO Radio Pictures. With consistently high production values and directors like John Ford and Howard Hawks, Goldwyn consistently received Academy Award for Best Picture nominations: ''Arrowsmith'' (1931), ''Dodsworth'' (1936), ''Dead End'' (1937), ''Wuthering Heights'' (1939), and ''The Little Foxes'' (1941). In 1946, he won best picture for ''The Best Years of Our Lives''. Through the 1940s and 1950s, many of Goldwyn's films starred Danny Kaye. Goldwyn's final production was the 1959 version of ''Porgy and Bess''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Samuel Goldwyn Productions」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
