- Quotes
Narrator: Thalberg's name stands as a benchmark of how a producer can not only shape a motion picture, but, actors, directors, and an entire era of Hollywood, as well. A man who never put his name on a film; yet, was christened the architect of the motion picture industry. Whose unprecedented prowess and talent are still spoken of today - more than 60 years after his death. Irving Thalberg - simply, has no equal.

Featured review
Not perfect....mostly because a biography about Thalberg could easily be MUCH longer.
"Irving Thalberg: Prince of Hollywood" is a 75 minute biography about the life of Irving Thalberg, the genius producer who had an amazing knack with perfecting films. While I have no major complaints about the documentary and am glad I saw it, there is one problem with it...75 minutes is just too short for a man as important to the film industry as Thalberg. As a result, you get most of the important facts but a few of his achievements and personal life are omitted. I really think the minimum you could devote to this subject is to make the movie twice as long...then you can talk about more of his film successes, a few more important actors to him (a couple omissions are mentioned in the IMDB trivia) as well as his being Jewish and the impact it had on his films. Overall, a must for old movie buffs...I just wish it had been longer.
