The eventual settlement from Goldman’s initial suit against Loews.  This sum of money is awarded to Goldman after an Appeals court decrees Loews is acting as a monopoly and not fairly allowing Goldman to compete.  By W. Wright

This is another case which follows William Goldman’s initial suit against Loews.  It is simply another step towards the diminishing of the Hollywood  Studio system’s power.  By W. Wright

This is the decision in 1945 that starts to end the Hollywood studio system.  It pretty much states that Philadelphia producers can dictate which films can have first runs without incurring the wrath of a major studio.  It leads to the emergence of more independent cinema theaters and also the inadvertent end of the picture palace.  By W. Wright
