You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Samuel Goldwyn Productions''' was an American film production company founded by [[Samuel Goldwyn]] in 1923, and active through 1959.  Personally controlled by Goldwyn and focused on production rather than distribution, the company developed into the most financially and critically successful independent production company in Hollywood's Golden Age.

== History ==
[[File:Samuel Goldwyn The Hurricane Trailer screenshot.jpg|right|250px|thumb|from the trailer for ''[[The Hurricane (1937 film)|The Hurricane]]'' (1937)]]

After the sale of his previous firm [[Goldwyn Pictures]], [[Samuel Goldwyn]] organized his productions beginning in February 1923, initially in a partnership with director [[George Fitzmaurice]]. ([[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer]], created by merger in April 1924, bears Goldwyn's name, but he did not produce films there.)  Goldwyn Production's first release, ''[[Potash and Perlmutter]]'', successfully opened in Baltimore on September 6, 1923.<ref>''Goldwyn: A Biography'', A. Scott Berg</ref>

Some of the early productions bear the name "Howard Productions", named for Goldwyn's wife [[Frances Howard (actress)|Frances Howard]], who married Goldwyn in 1925. In the 1920s, Goldwyn released films through [[First National Pictures|Associated First National]]. Throughout the 1930s, Goldwyn released most of his films through [[United Artists]]. Beginning in 1941, Goldwyn released most of his films through [[RKO Radio Pictures]].

With consistently high production values and directors like [[John Ford]] and [[Howard Hawks]], Goldwyn consistently received [[Academy Award for Best Picture]] nominations: ''[[Arrowsmith (film)|Arrowsmith]]'' (1931), ''[[Dodsworth (film)|Dodsworth]]'' (1936), ''[[Dead End (1937 film)|Dead End]]'' (1937), ''[[Wuthering Heights (1939 film)|Wuthering Heights]]'' (1939), and ''[[The Little Foxes (film)|The Little Foxes]]'' (1941). In 1946, he won best picture for ''[[The Best Years of Our Lives]]''.

Through the 1940s and 1950s, many of Goldwyn's films starred [[Danny Kaye]]. Goldwyn's final production was the 1959 version of ''[[Porgy and Bess (film)|Porgy and Bess]]''.

Elements for many films produced by Samuel Goldwyn Productions between 1929 and 1955 are held by the [[Academy Film Archive]] as part of the Samuel Goldwyn Collection.<ref>((cite web|title=Samuel Goldwyn Collection|url=https://www.oscars.org/film-archive/collections/samuel-goldwyn-collection|website=Academy Film Archive|date=5 September 2014))</ref>
