==Biography==
+
-
Goldwyn was born '''Schmuel Gelbfisz''' in [[Warsaw]], [[Congress Poland]], [[Russian Empire]] to a [[Hasidic]], [[Polish Jewish]] family.  At an early age, he left Warsaw on foot and penniless. He made his way to [[Birmingham, England]], where he remained with relatives for a few years using the name '''Samuel Goldfish'''. In 1898, he emigrated to the [[United States]], but fearing refusal of entry, he got off the boat in [[Nova Scotia]], [[Canada]], before moving on to [[New York]] in January 1899. He found work in upstate [[Gloversville, New York]], in the bustling garment business. Soon his innate marketing skills made him a very successful salesman. After four years, as vice-president for sales, he moved back to [[New York City]]. {{Citation needed|date=August 2010}}<ref>A. Scott Berg, ''Goldwyn, a Biography''</ref>

In 1913, Goldfish along with his brother-in-law [[Jesse L. Lasky]], [[Cecil B. DeMille]], and Arthur Friend formed a partnership, '''The Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play Company''', to produce feature length motion pictures. Film rights for the stage play ''The Squaw Man'' were purchased for $4000 and [[Dustin Farnum]] was hired for the leading role. Shooting for the first feature film made in Hollywood began on December 29, 1913.<ref>A.Scott Berg, ''Goldwyn, a Biography.'' pp.31-35,41.</ref>

In 1914, Paramount was a film exchange and exhibition corporation headed by [[W. W. Hodkinson]]. Looking for more movies to distribute, Paramount signed a contract with the Lasky Company on June 1, 1914 to supply 36 films per year. One of Paramount's other suppliers was [[Adolph Zukor]]'s '''Famous Players Company'''. The two companies merged on June 28, 1916 forming '''[[Famous Players-Lasky|The Famous Players-Lasky Corporation]]'''. Zukor had been quietly buying Paramount stock, and two weeks prior to the merger, became president of Paramount Pictures Corporation and had  Hodkinson replaced with Hiram Abrams, a Zukor associate.<ref>A.Scott Berg, ''Goldwyn,  a Biography.'' pp.49,58</ref>
+
-
 
+
-
With the merger, Zukor became president of both Paramount and Famous Players-Lasky, with Goldfish being named chairman of the board of Famous Players-Lasky, and Jesse Lasky first vice-president. After a series of conflicts with Zukor, Goldfish resigned as chairman of the board, and as member of the executive committee of the corporation on September 14, 1916. Goldfish was out as an active member of management, although he still owned stock and was a member of the board of directors. Famous Players-Lasky would later become part of Paramount Pictures Corporation, and Paramount would become one of Hollywood's major studios.<ref>A.Scott Berg, ''Goldwyn, a Biography.'' pp.58,59,63.

===Goldwyn Pictures===
+
-
In 1916, Goldfish partnered with [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] producers [[Edgar Selwyn|Edgar]] and [[Archibald Selwyn]], using a combination of both names to call their movie-making enterprise [[Goldwyn Pictures]]. Seeing an opportunity, Samuel Gelbfisz then had his name legally changed to '''Samuel Goldwyn''', which he used for the rest of his life.  Goldwyn Pictures proved successful but it is their "[[Leo the Lion (MGM)|Leo the Lion]]" trademark for which the organization is most famous.
+
-
 
+
-
On April 10, 1924, Goldwyn Pictures was acquired by [[Marcus Loew]] and merged into his [[Metro Pictures Corporation]].  Despite the appearance of his name, Goldwyn never produced any films at [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer]].

Before the sale and merger of Goldwyn Pictures in April 1924, Goldwyn had established '''[[Samuel Goldwyn Productions]]''' in 1923 as a production-only operation (with no distribution arm).  Their first feature was [[Potash and Perlmutter]], released in September 1923 through [[First National Pictures]].  Some of the early productions bear the name "Howard Productions", named for Goldwyn's wife Frances Howard.

For 35 years, Goldwyn built a reputation in filmmaking and an eye for finding the talent for making films. He used director [[William Wyler]] for many of his productions and hired writers such as [[Ben Hecht]], [[Sidney Howard]], [[Dorothy Parker]], and [[Lillian Hellman]]. (According to legend, at a heated story conference Goldwyn scolded someone—in most accounts Mrs. Parker—who recalled he had once been a glove maker and retorted: "Don't you point that finger at me. I knew it when it had a thimble on it!" Another time, when he demanded a script that ended on a happy note, she said: "I know this will come as a shock to you, Mr. Goldwyn, but in all history, which has held billions and billions of human beings, not a single one ever had a happy ending."<ref>{{cite book|last=Silverstein|first=Stuart Y., ed.|authorlink=|coauthors=|title=Not Much Fun: The Lost Poems of Dorothy Parker|publisher=Scribner|date=1996, paperback 2001|location =New York|page=42, n. 75|url=|doi=|id=|isbn=0743211480 (paperback)}}</ref>)

For more than three decades, Goldwyn made numerous successful films and received Best Picture [[Academy Awards|Oscar]] nominations for ''[[Arrowsmith (movie)|Arrowsmith]]'' (1931), ''[[Dodsworth (film)|Dodsworth]]'' (1936), ''[[Dead End]]'' (1937), ''[[Wuthering Heights (1939 film)|Wuthering Heights]]'' (1939), and ''[[The Little Foxes (film)|The Little Foxes]]'' (1941). The leading actors in several of Goldwyn films were also Oscar-nominated for their performances.
+
-
 
+
-
Throughout the 1930s, Goldwyn released all his films through [[United Artists]], but beginning in 1941, and continuing almost through the end of his career, Goldwyn released his films through [[RKO Radio Pictures]].

In 1946, the year he was honored by the [[Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences]] with the [[Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award]], Goldwyn's drama ''[[The Best Years of Our Lives]]'', starring [[Myrna Loy]], [[Fredric March]], [[Teresa Wright]] and [[Dana Andrews]], won the [[Academy Award for Best Picture]]. In the 1950s Samuel Goldwyn turned to making a number of [[musical film|musicals]] including the 1955 hit ''[[Guys and Dolls (film)|Guys and Dolls]]'' starring [[Marlon Brando]], [[Jean Simmons]], [[Frank Sinatra]], and [[Vivian Blaine]]. This was the only independent film that Goldwyn ever released through [[MGM]]. (Goldwyn had previously made several musicals starring [[Eddie Cantor]] and [[Danny Kaye]], as well as 1938's ''[[The Goldwyn Follies]]''.)

+

In his final film, made in 1959, Samuel Goldwyn brought together [[African-American]] actors [[Sidney Poitier]], [[Dorothy Dandridge]], [[Sammy Davis, Jr.]] and [[Pearl Bailey]] in a [[Porgy and Bess (1959 film)|film rendition]] of the [[George Gershwin]] opera, ''[[Porgy and Bess]]''. Released by [[Columbia Pictures]], the film was nominated for three Oscars, but won only one. It was also a critical and financial failure, and the Gershwin family reportedly disliked the film and eventually pulled it from distribution. The reception of the film was a huge disappointment to Goldwyn. {{Citation needed|date=August 2010}}

==Goldwynisms==
+

{{wikiquote}}

Samuel Goldwyn was also known for [[malapropism]]s, paradoxes, and other speech errors called 'Goldwynisms' ("A humorous statement or phrase resulting from the use of incongruous or contradictory words, situations, idioms, etc.") being frequently quoted. For example, he was reported to have said, "I don't think anybody should write his autobiography until after he's dead."<ref>Quoted in [[Arthur Marx]], ''Goldwyn: The Man Behind the Myth'' (1976), prologue.</ref> Some famous Goldwyn quotations are misattributions. For example, the statement attributed to Goldwyn that "a verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's written on" is actually a well-documented misreporting of an actual quote praising the trustworthiness of a colleague: "His verbal contract is worth more than the paper it's written on". The identity of the colleague is variously reported as Joseph M. Schenk<ref>Paul F. Boller, John George, ''They Never Said It'' (1990), p. 42.</ref> or Joseph L. Mankiewicz<ref>Carol Easton, ''The Search for Sam Goldwyn'' (1976).</ref> Goldwyn himself was reportedly aware of - and pleased by - the misattribution.

Upon being told that a book he had purchased for filming, ''[[The Well of Loneliness]]'', couldn't be filmed because it was about lesbians, he reportedly replied: "That's all right, we'll make them Hungarians." The same story was told about the 1934 rights to ''The Children's Hour'' with the response "That's okay; we'll turn them into Armenians."<ref>[http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/article.jsp?contentId=18608 ''These Three'']</ref> Upon being told that a dictionary had included the word "Goldwynism" as synonym for malapropism, he raged: "Goldwynisms! They should talk to [[Jesse Lasky]]!" {{Citation needed|date=August 2010}}

+
-
Having many writers in his employ, Goldwyn may not have come up with all of these on his own. In fact Charlie Chaplin took credit for penning the line, "In two words: im-possible"; and the quote, "the next time I send a damn fool for something, I go myself," has also been attributed to [[Michael Curtiz]].{{Citation needed|date=August 2010}}
+
-
 
+
-
These led to the reference in the Cole Porter song ''[[Anything Goes]]'':
+
-
:"When Sam Goldwyn can with great conviction
+
-
: instruct [[Anna Sten]] in diction,
+
-
: then Anna shows,
+
-
: Anything goes!"
+
-
 
+
-
In the Grateful Dead's Scarlet Begonias,<ref>[http://artsites.ucsc.edu/GDead/agdl/scarlet.html]</ref> the line "I ain't often right but I've never been wrong" appears in the bridge - this is very similar to Goldwyn's "I’m willing to admit that I may not always be right, but I am never wrong."
