One Hundred Films and a Funeral

A major new book detailing the rise and fall of PolyGram Films by Michael Kuhn. Many Europeans have dreamed of a film studio able to challenge Hollywood on its own ground. Only one post-war company has come close - PolyGram Filmed Entertainment. This book is a brilliant account of the life and death of PolyGram Films seen through the eyes of its British President, Michael Kuhn. He describes the beginnings of the company, in London and LA, in the heyday of the 80's and its subsequent meteoric growth throughout the next decade. This is not only a story of deals won and lost in a ruthless world peopled by titans, sharks, peacocks and all the usual suspects, but a real business adventure that changed the structure of the global film industry.Kuhn, Michael is the author of 'One Hundred Films and a Funeral' with ISBN 9781854182166 and ISBN 1854182161.
