Anecdotes
The confusion caused by the failed takeover attempt by Parretti of MGM studios caused much anguis amongst the James Bond producers. They were allegedly so skeptical of Parretti's leadership that Timothy Dalton quit the 007 franchise unwilling to wait until the problems at MGM were resolved, robbing the producers of one of the most promising stars to play the role.

The rise & fall of the elaborate purchase of MGM by a man who doesn't know the film Citizen Kane!

This is a quirky documentary about a story that is almost unbelievable. Giancarlo Parretti is definitely character who has a story worth telling. For a man who doesn't know much about films, he has lived a life that would make a great film. A successful businessman who's had a questionable and extraordinary journey. Is he connected, is he a fraudster, is he the puppet or the puppeteer? Whatever he was he somehow managed to purchase one of the major studios that once dominated Hollywood in the golden age. The filmmakers have a done a great job accessing the right witnesses to help untangle this web of confusing yet impressive transactions which led to the purchase of MGM in 1990. I loved hearing the voice of the Director of this documentary asking the right questions while trying his best to comprehend who Parretti is and how he got to where he did. I think he managed to reach the tip of the iceberg. What a great story and a well made doc.
