Featured review
China Or Platinum For A 20th Anniversary
Lewis Stone introduces and narrates highlights from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's movies in its first 20 years.
MGM was formed by Marcus Loew, who purchased and amalgamated the Metro Company, the Goldwyn Company, and then hired Louis B. Mayer and his assistant, Irving Thalberg, who had been producing their own movies for Mayer. This raises a mystery: why celebrate a 20th anniversary five years late? I'll suggest that this movie was likely made in 1944 for MGM's annual convention, even if they didn't register it for another five years.
The choice of movies is pretty god, usually one a year. If you wonder why THE WIZARD OF OZ isn't there, it was a disappointment at the box office. Anyway, you get to hear Jimmy Stewart singing "Somewhere Over The Rainbow", so why complain?
