In this cinematic episode of Ira’s Everything Bagel, Bernard talks about the inevitable decline of independent studios; the fascinating history of early Hollywood and the formation of Paramount Studios; the death of Paramount and the importance of George Weltner (the last president before the Gulf+Western takeover) in documenting it; why and how Gulf+Western C.E.O. Charles Bluhdorn joined the board of Paramount and eventually purchased the company for his conglomerate; the mindset of the new moguls, who were concerned, not with making movies, but making money through movies; and what the new Hollywood represents.
