- TriviaThe working title for this series was originally "MGM: When the Lion Roared". The company operating as MGM as of 1992--which continues to exist--is not the legal successor to the "classic" MGM, which ceased to exist after Ted Turner bought and subsequently dismantled the studio in 1986, despite sharing similar assets such as the Leo the Lion logo. However, the new MGM thought the title was detrimental to its company and demanded the slight title change.
- Alternate versionsOriginally aired on TNT over 3 consecutive evenings in 3 parts, with the DVD set, the second part of the mini-series, "The Lion Reigns Supreme", is split into 2-parts, 1 on disc-1 (59 min), 2nd part on disc-2 (62 min).
- ConnectionsFeatured in Hollywood Burn (2006)
Featured review
Superb!
A great documentary, beautifully detailed and put together with great style. Many of the people interviewed are gone, so this is indeed a treasure of the ages. I purchased the three cassette tape of the series and recommend to any avid movie fan to do the same. It's something that can be viewed again and again.
This series is fascinating, but also very sad. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, the greatest studio of them all, is no more. It's heartbreaking that Columbia Pictures, once considered the poverty row' of studios, now occupies the site of MGM.
