He made his first film, \u003ci\u003eThe Squaw Man\u003c\/i\u003e, in 1913, and he died in 1974 at the age of ninety-one. In the many years between, he produced an enormous number of films--including such classics as \u003ci\u003eWuthering Heights, Street Scene, Arrowsmith, Dodsworth, The Little Foxes,\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Best Years of Our Lives\u003c\/i\u003e--and worked with many luminaries--Gary Cooper, Ronald Colman, Laurence Olivier, George Balanchine, Lillian Hellman, Howard Hawks, John Ford, Eddie Cantor, Busby Berkeley, Danny Kaye, Merle Oberon, and Bob Hope among them. When Samuel Goldfisch was born in the Warsaw ghetto, he was penniless; when Sam Goldwyn died in Los Angeles, he was worth an estimated $19 million. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Search for Sam Goldwyn\u003c\/i\u003e locates the real Sam Goldwyn and shatters the \"hostile conspiracy of silence\" that protected his legend.
