[edit] 1975 Movie: SALO
I can't figure out why "Salo" is not on mentioned or even on the list of films? User:anonymous 05:09, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pickford
The PBS (American Experience) bio for Pickford states that (whatever more global issues were at stake) UA's creation was triggered specifically by the studio backlash against her hard bargaining, specifically in the form of a plan by her former employer to buy the studio she had gone to rather than contract again with the one he headed. It also left me with the impression that her paychecks might well have been more than half of the combined economic stakes of the performers involved.
American Experience | Mary Pickford | Transcript | PBS says "The complete Mary Pickford program transcript will be available after the television broadcast." Well, but not ten minutes after.

[edit] Society of Independent Motion Picture Producers
The Mary Pickford article mentions the following: "1941: Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, Walt Disney, Orson Welles, Samuel Goldwyn, David O. Selznick, Alexander Korda, and Walter Wanger founded the Society of Independent Motion Picture Producers." The "Society of Independent Motion Picture Producers" is a link to the this United Artists article, but this article itself makes no mention of what this entity is or how it relates to United Artists. -- GIR 04:52, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] CATV
This article has no mention of UA's Cable TV interests - now, these seem to have died out before the 'net became majorly popular; and they never had any over here, but I know that some or all of the Telewest network in the UK was United Artists.
Anybody have any info on it for the article?
[edit] Public domain?
"while still other classic 1930s and 1940s UA films are now in the public domain."
If this is true, I'm guessing that it happened when UA forgot to renew its 1909 Act copyrights. Is this the case? --Damian Yerrick 23:54, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] UA Logos
The only logos that I see on TV now by UA are the 1987 logo and sometimes with the MGM/UA byline, the 1994 logo (which is my favorite), and today's logo. I don't see the UA/Transamerica logo anymore or the 1982 logo. King Shadeed 20:56, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 1994 UA logo
Did you know that in 1994 when United Artists had their logo on a marble background meant that UA celebrated it's 75th Anniversary? King Shadeed 23:07, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
