- TriviaThe working title for this series was originally "MGM: When the Lion Roared". The company operating as MGM as of 1992--which continues to exist--is not the legal successor to the "classic" MGM, which ceased to exist after Ted Turner bought and subsequently dismantled the studio in 1986, despite sharing similar assets such as the Leo the Lion logo. However, the new MGM thought the title was detrimental to its company and demanded the slight title change.
- Alternate versionsOriginally aired on TNT over 3 consecutive evenings in 3 parts, with the DVD set, the second part of the mini-series, "The Lion Reigns Supreme", is split into 2-parts, 1 on disc-1 (59 min), 2nd part on disc-2 (62 min).
- ConnectionsFeatured in Hollywood Burn (2006)
Featured review
I am an avid movie fan and pretty much like all the studios, per se. But the treasure of them all is the MGM studio. It is very near and dear to my heart and I am deeply saddened that MGM is no longer around. The original MGM lion lies in an unmarked grave in NJ when it really should be enshrined as the one that adorns MGM Las Vegas.
Most of the stars in front of the camera as well as behind the camera are also gone. That makes this trilogy so bitter sweet to watch. "More Stars Than There Are In The Heavens" was its motto and these films bring back the golden era of movies to us once more. An absolute must for any film buff to own.
