Marcus Loew Facts
Despite his seemingly scant IMDB filmography, he was the most powerful man in the film industry. As the founder of Loew's Inc., he controlled the purse strings on Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.

Purchased Metro Pictures in 1920. He was the "Metro" in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer when the three studios merged to form MGM in 1924.

Despite his position within the film industry, Loew never viewed himself as a film producer. As the owner of hundreds of first-class theaters, he saw Loew's Inc. as a real estate operation where customers rented seats, generating an overall return. His film business was simply a means to guarantee supply of product of sufficient quality necessary to fill those seats as many times per day as possible.
