Acerca de esta escucha

In 1895, teenager Schmuel Goldfisz left the Warsaw ghetto to become Samuel Goldwyn, one of the most acclaimed producers in Hollywood history. Among Goldwyn' s films are such classics as The Pride of the Yankees, Wuthering Heights, and The Bishop' s Wife— all famous for conveying the "Goldwyn Touch."

In this detailed biography, acclaimed author A. Scott Berg recounts the fascinating life of one of the most colorful personalities of Hollywood' s Golden Age. From his escape to the United States at the turn of the century to his Academy Award-winning triumph with The Best Years of Our Lives, Goldwyn' s story would have played well in one of his own films. Here is a very special look at Hollywood and one of its leading figures— as read by Hollywood icon Roddy McDowell.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A. Scott Berg's big, rich, graceful biography of Sam Goldwyn brings the 'movie book' to a new rarified plateau.... The book proves worthy of what would be, in context, the highest praise of all: It has the Goldwyn Touch." (The Washington Post Book World)

I fully enjoyed this story and the wonderful narration of Roddy McDowall. It is an honest story of Hollywood’s beginnings and its most influential and successful independent producer.

Very honest story. Wonderful narration.

Would you try another book from A. Scott Berg and/or Roddy McDowall?

Yes, love his books.

What didn’t you like about Roddy McDowall’s performance?

What was with the voice of Samuel Goldwyn, why was it so ridiculously high? Did he actually talk like that?? Sounded completely ridiculous and ruined the book.

Great story, terrible performance

Loved it, wish it were more in depth but thankful for this books research as it brought us the book Kate Remembered.

Great short bio

Great author. Impression of Goldwyn’s voice detracted for me. Mostly disappointed with cost for 3 hours only!!! Total waste of a credit

Great story, way too abridged for price!

Great book. Roddy McDowell gives a fine reading BUT Audible needs to let people know when a book is abridged. I am tired of wasting my money on a 2 hour distillation of a great book. It's downright theft

Great story, great narrator BUT...

Amazon/Audible, please give me my money back!

My friend strongly recommended this book (he read the print version). So I bought this from the Audible.com app. Unfortunately, on the little screen, I didn't see that it was ABRIDGED.

Abridging any book is dangerous. Done by an incompetent it's fatal. THIS BOOK IS INCOHERENT.

And what is up with the guy reading --- IN FALSETTO?

Can you think of any other way to ruin it?

Just give me my money back, please.

The worst audiobook I've ever heard
