From the press release...
"Columbia Pictures reaches a major milestone in 2024 by celebrating the 100-year anniversary of Columbia's incorporation. In the same vein of recent Hollywood movie studio titles such as Warner Bros. Hollywood's Ultimate Backlot, Paramount - City of Dreams, and MGM: Hollywood's Greatest Backlot, this new book documents the studio history of Columbia Pictures Corporation in Hollywood, as well as Columbia's backlot in Burbank, CA. This book reveals how Columbia came to be founded by Joe Brandt and brothers Harry & Jack Cohn in 1924, and uses the "studio tour" concept to describe Columbia's history of filmmaking, which includes LOST HORIZON, MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON, FROM HERE TO ETERNITY, THE BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI, as well as many other serials and television programs. The book has hundreds of photos, including studio documents, vintage publicity stills and candids, along with aerial views and maps. The majority of the photos have never been published before."
