This documentary covers the history of Hollywood in something like 51 minutes, focusing mainly on the achievements of MGM, beginning with the forming of the company.
Lots of classic scenes which have been seen countless times are intertwined with an auction of the "Showboat" boat, Judy's red shoes, and the Bounty ship, all at lowball prices since it's 1972.
The problem with watching "Hollywood: The Dream Factory" today is that everything covered is very familiar now, and movie buffs have seen the footage dozens of times. However, if you want a quick and dirty look at the problems with the way over budget Ben Hur, the discovery of Greta Garbo, how no one but Gable could do Gone With the Wind, and a look at that big MGM luncheon, this is for you.
