History:
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, Inc. is a film and television production and distribution company from the USA.
It was created in 1924 from the joining of three companies: Metro Picture Corporation (1915), Goldwyn Pictures Corporation (1916-1917) and Louis B. Mayer Pictures (1918). Marcus Loew was in charge of the union of the theree companies, thus creating along with Louis N. Mayer and Irving Thalberg a new management team and a great company. With the contribution of these three small companies, one of the most important companies of the age, that made countless movies, was created. It was quite important until the fifties, but it was slowly losing fame and changing several times of direction. Its great disaster came the 20th June 2010 when they went bankrupt due to a debt of 3.500 million dollars after nearly 90 years of a successful trayectory with movies like "Gone with the Wind" (1939), "Singin' in the Rain" (1952), "The Wizard of Oz" (1939), "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968) and "Ben-Hur" (1959). His logo was a distinctive mark of the companie, worldwide known for using a real lion in movement in the centre of the scene and the motto "Ars Gratia Artis" (Art for art's sake).
