About RKO, A Story made in Hollywood

  • Documentary

Synopsis

The history of RKO - one of the legendary "Big Five" studios of the Hollywood’s Golden Age, from its creation in 1928 (when the movies started talking) to its demise in 1956, largely due to the mismanagement by its last CEO, Howard Hughes. During this period, RKO produced some 550 films including some of cinema’s great masterpieces ("King Kong", "Citizen Kane", the Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers films, "Bringing Up Baby") and launched the career of famous stars such as Katherine Hepburn and Robert Mitchum. Film lovers will enjoy the many extracts from RKO’s most famous movies.
