Narrator: Thalberg's name stands as a benchmark of how a producer can not only shape a motion picture, but, actors, directors, and an entire era of Hollywood, as well. A man who never put his name on a film; yet, was christened the architect of the motion picture industry. Whose unprecedented prowess and talent are still spoken of today - more than 60 years after his death. Irving Thalberg - simply, has no equal.

Featured review
A tad dull
Compared to some of Turner Classic Movies' other original documentaries--I'm looking at you, So Funny It Hurt--this brief film about producer Irving Thalberg is a bit of a letdown. That may be because Thalberg died so young: there's not much footage of him available, and there are few left alive who knew or worked with him. The result is a rather boring recitation of the facts which doesn't cast much new light on the meteoric rise and tragic--though completely predictable--death of the man most people only think of on Oscar night. Stanley Tucci's bland narration doesn't help matters much, and this is ultimately a disappointing and rather dull documentary.
