This is an article that talks about Goldman’s case being overturned in federal appeals court.  It leads to a lesser settlement and does not deter Goldman’s fight against the studio’s monopoly.  By W. Wright

United States. U.S. Tax Court. William Goldman Theatres, Inc. v. Commissionner of Internal Revenue. 19 T.C. 637; 1953 U.S. Tax Ct. Lexis 262.

This is a federal court case (the case was never granted a writ of certiorari from the Supreme Court) about the settlement of William Goldman Theater Co. against Loews. This case talks about the money Goldman won after suing Loews under the Sherman Anti-trust act. The original case has to deal with the incurred loss of Goldman’s theaters because of an unfair monopoly practices under the vertically integrated studio system. Goldman was originally awarded $1.35 million for loss and damages, but after another appeal, a district court awarded him $125,000, plus $375,000 in punitive damages. By 1953, the case was already over seven years old, but it was not simply a case fighting large studios, it was a case that allowed for a local area theater owner to gain some control over distribution and exhibition with Philadelphia. This decision leads to Goldman opening a successful chain of movie theaters, which he owns and operates for over another twenty years. By W. Wright
