NOTORIOUS on pages 212-213 2. TILL THE END OF TIME on page 213 3. THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES on page 214 4. IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE on page 215There are several other movies in this book that you might choose as your favorites, but you'll have to buy this book and see for yourself. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Most Authoritative *by R***O on Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2009* Richard Jewell's book is simply the most thorough and most authoritative study of the RKO movie production studio ever written. It covers every film chronologically and seems never to fail to offer insight into the thinking of its creators, and the performances of its stars. The films are supplemented with good photos...but it's the research required to produce such a volume that is really impressive. Jewell displays his love of film....and all that is required to produce high quality work....throughout his well written narrative. This is a comprehensive reference book really, that provides "a big picture" perspective of the work of one small, but mighty studio, during the Golden Age of Hollywood.. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The stars in RKOs crown *by L***C on Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2010* Beautifully put together history of RKO. Photo-packed as a book about films should be with a synopsis of every film and details galore. A quote from the text tells the RKO story: "The supreme irony of RKO's existence is that the studio earned a position of lasting importance in cinema history largely BECAUSE of it's extraordinarily unstable history. Since it was the weakling of the Hollywood's majors, RKO welcomed a diverse group of individualistic creators and provided them, at least until the Hughes era, with an extraordinary degree of freedom to express their artistic idiosycracies."Any film buff NEEDS to have this book in their library. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/93972178-the-rko-story](https://www.desertcart.at/products/93972178-the-rko-story) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
