he was known as the

from running penny arcades to creating paramount pictures corporation, zukor had a hand in the development of every aspect of the film industry. one of the very first studio magnates, zukor realized that the three elements of the film business—production, distribution, and exhibition—were financially dependent on each other, and could be increased by opportunistic mergers. [ 1 ]
o’neill’s film acting, obviously borne of years of large theatre performances, is big and sweepingly theatrical. porter and golden’s direction, borne of the early film techniques of a decade before, is itself theatrical and old - fashioned, while film direction was already maturing in leaps and bounds at biograph and elsewhere. shot when the american feature film was just emerging late in 1912, the production managed some requisite pacing and tension to make the film effective. much of the novel’s plot is rapidly but cohesively played out in the production .

by 1931, paramount' s publix theater circuit had become the largest in the world, double the size of its nearest competitor. paramount pictures produced many of the most popular films of the silent film era, including the covered wagon, the ten commandments, beau geste, and wings. zukor' s star system continued to produce stars for the talkie era with the likes of marlene dietrich, mae west, gary cooper, claudette colbert, the marx brothers, dorothy lamour, carole lombard, and bing crosby .
original plans called for the film to be shot in bermuda, but the idea was abandoned, and it was filmed in and around new york city .
one of zukor' s shrewdest decisions was to offer an up - and - coming vaudeville actress, mary pickford, a contract. the combination of her popularity and his business acumen increased their collective influence. she instantly attracted a devoted following, appearing in such comedy - dramas as in the bishop' s carriage (1913) and hearts adrift (1914). her appearance in 1914' s tess of the storm country, a film shown on four continents, brought her international recognition .

jim caviezel and guy pierce head up a version which has few faults in my eyes... it' s highly entertaining despite being truncated. the movie version focuses almost exclusively on physical revenge, which is perfectly understandable given the medium. in fact, i would go so far as to say that the swordplay is some of the best committed to film in recent memory. forgotten: 1998' s le comte de monte cristo starring gerard depardieu. it' s probably the only film version that' s come close to encapsulating the actual book. sure, you can do movies but a series - length production is the only way to get a proper adaptation. < iframe width =

with two early silent film adaptations inspired by alexandre dumas’ classic story of revenge. if you purchased this dvd before contact us for a discounted upgrade .
adolf cukor (adolph zukor) (january 7, 1873 – june 10, 1976) was a pioneering film mogul and founder of paramount pictures .
this last aspect was greatly aided by dumas père' s book, ready - made for a film scenario with the major change being a happy ending to the thwarted central romance. the plot involves the arrest and imprisonment of an innocent sailor for alleged bonapartist scheming. languishing in the infamous island prison of chateau d' if, edmond dantes barely clings to life but holds on to hope, driven by his thirst to get even with those who set him up. one day, hearing a tapping on his cell wall, he begins to dig with a spoon until he breaks through and discovers another prisoner, a saintly cleric who imparts to dantes information about a hidden treasure on the island of monte cristo. the two begin to dig a tunnel together, and when the other prisoner dies, dantes takes his place in the body bag. struggling free after being thrown into the sea, he makes his escape and sets about to find the treasure and execute his elaborate revenge plot .
alexandre dumas' s 1845 novel about the betrayal, imprisonment, and eventual triumph of edmond dantes is one of world literature' s most famous stories of dogged revenge. there have been many productions over the years, in the u. s. and other countries, but most critics cite the 1934 version of
. the picture was a critical and commercial success, named one of the ten best of the year, and big offers quickly came to the 29 - year - old actor. yet donat' s distaste for the hollywood scene and the debilitating asthma that plagued him all his life led him to turn down the highly touted lead in the seafaring adventure story
other early feature - length films of the silent era available on home video .
edmond dantes, a young sailor in the service of the pharaoh, prior to a long voyage, takes leave of his invalid father and his sweetheart, mercedes. the tender farewell with mercedes arouses the jealous hatred of fernand, a catalan fisherman, secretly in love with mercedes. dantes gives mercedes a brooch (which later again figures in the story) and sails away. in mid - sea the captain of the pharaoh suddenly dies and entrusts dantes with a private letter from general murat to the exiled emperor, napoleon bonaparte, at elba. danglars, the supercargo, overhears the captain' s dying request, and keeps the knowledge in the event of future need. when the vessel reaches elba, dantes delivers the letter to the deposed emperor, and promises to deliver napoleon' s reply to noirtier, of the bonaparte committee. in dantes' absence fernand urges his hopeless suit of mercedes. on the return of the pharaoh, morell, its owner, makes dantes captain of the vessel, a post which danglars had hoped to secure ...
during the great depression, the company fell on hard times and many failed attempts were made to get rid of zukor. paramount - publix went bankrupt in 1933, and was reorganized as paramount pictures, inc. he was then forced out as part of the reorganization, but after barney balaban became paramount president in 1936, he appointed zukor chairman of the board. they served together 28 years, until balaban was forced out of paramount in 1964, after the failure of the big - budgeted the fall of the roman empire (1964). [ 8 ]
soon afterward, zukor learned of a french producer, louis mercanton, who wanted to make a four - reel movie starring the famous french actress sarah bernhardt, in her successful play queen elizabeth. mercanton' s project was being delayed for lack of funds. zukor advanced mercanton $ 40, 000 to secure the north american rights to the movie. it was the first test of his theory that american audiences sit through a film of this length .
perhaps no weapon in america’s media arsenal has proven as lasting as the hollywood movie. what began as a low - grade form of entertainment, a somewhat disreputable venture at the turn of the nineteenth century became the most powerful international tool of american cultural power. zukor was a pioneer in creating one of america' s most enduring cultural legacies .

zukor orchestrated another major change in movie industry practice. it was not enough that the hollywood companies simply control all the movie stars and studios. their long - run economic security depended on the construction and maintenance of networks for national and international distribution. once a feature film was made, the majority of its cost had been accumulated. it then cost relatively little to market it throughout the world. if somehow the producer could expand the territory to include greater and greater world markets, the additional revenues overwhelmed any extra costs .
by the mid - point of 1921, he owned 300 theaters. four years later, he merged his theaters with balaban and katz, the most innovative theater chain in the united states. in 1927, they dropped the name famous players - lasky and renamed the enterprise paramount, which up to then had been the name of his distribution arm. the theaters were called the paramount - publix theater chain .
( 2005), the title character claims it as his favorite movie, proving the enduring appeal not only of dumas' s story but of the revenge motive as a driving force in literature... and life .
this late french silent tells the famous alexandre dumas tale. filmed at many of the actual locations mentioned in the novel it also includes captivating french impressionist techniques. 40 minutes
this early example of
famous players in famous plays
- - the best known is bernhardt in queen elizabeth - - is interesting on several counts, and fails on other counts. james o' neill, now barely remembered for being eugene o' neill' s father, was a well - known actor, famous for playing the count on stage for many years. he comes off as a fairly florid young man, within the realm of believability. however, other actors are clearly playing for the balcony. another problem is the short length of the movie: an hour in 1912 was an enormously long production, but it leaves out so much of dumas' book that it can only hit the highlights if it is to maintain continuity. fortunately, by and large, it does, thanks in large part to edison veterans edwin s. porter and joseph a. golden. doubtless this must have been an exciting production in 1913 and an important step towards legitimizing films as an artistic medium. today it largely is of historic interest .
the early stars of their films were drawn from the stage, but soon zukor realized that he would have to create his own stars .

in 1914, w. w. hodkinson had merged eleven regional distributors to create the paramount distribution network. when hodkinson sold out to zukor he quickly took over other national distributors and soon had a stranglehold on the marketplace for film distribution throughout the united states. zukor then turned his attentions to world distribution. world war i had curtailed distribution powers of rival european movie makers so zukor stepped into the gap .

a perceived obstacle to his ambitions was the fact that movies, or
flickers
as they were called, were very short, usually no more than 12 minutes. others in the industry felt that american audiences would not want to see anything longer. zukor felt that audiences would sit through a movie for an hour or more, if it had a good story. zukor tested his theory by buying the rights to a three - reel european religious movie, passion play. zukor described the audience' s reaction in his autobiography :
the scene was one of the most remarkable i have ever witnessed. many women viewed the picture with religious awe. some fell to their knees. i was struck by the moral potentialities of the screen .
the film had a good run and proved to zukor that americans would sit through longer pictures. [ 4 ]
zukor seized the momentum from profit - bearing mergers and proposed to paramount' s board that famous players - lasky join paramount to form an even stronger entity. his idea fell on receptive ears, and he became the new president of the conglomeration, which was now a subsidiary of famous players - lasky .

while most theater owners consolidated their holdings by creating theater chains zukor kept a hand in both sides of the business. his company invested in the chains, which empowered him to present his own films in the theaters, and he purchased stock in paramount to protect his interests .
adolph zukor was born to a jewish family in the rural village of risce, hungary. his parents ran a small store and grew crops. zukor did not remember his father, who died when the boy was one year old and his brother arthur was three. their mother was the daughter of a rabbi. she remarried, but died when zukor was eight .
because his illness and preference for stage work led him to make a relatively small number of films, and due in part to his refusal to work in america, donat is not as famous today as he might have been, considering his talent and appeal. he was also not the typical star and was genuinely modest, even lacking in self - confidence (which was most likely the result or cause of a terrible stammer in his youth); he once confessed his long feeling of insecurity and the slight boost he received from what he called
the false security of stardom .
he was known to be critical of his own work, particularly as a young actor, and later remarked that he thought he spent a great deal of time trying to appear dashing :
