The Fox de Guillermo constructed many theaters and created many legend in his impressive race. The Fox of the sound bought the rights of a healthy technique of process of the German film and the Fox could produce films with the track of music and effect in 1926. The company grew and more earth was required to extend itself. It around bought three hundred Earth acres in Beverly Hills where it constructed the city of Movietone. After the death of its rival, Frame Loew, Guillermo thought about the purchase of Inc. of Loew. It also had almost two hundred theaters and studies of MGM underneath him. The distribution was done and combined officially to the companies in 1929. But the owner of the studies of MGM, Louis B.

The luck was not in the side of Guillermo they damaged and it in a shock of car and for the moment at which again new it outside to normal stock-market starred and he was total ruined. He lost all their fortune and he had even to go to jail. The unique exit was to be combined with another bigger company. This one is when it happened the fusion of the twentieth century and the Fox. The Fox had almost two hundred theaters underneath his strap, but at that time the twentieth century was in better financial conditions, so the name of the new company was 20th Century Fox Film Corporation, that began to work the 31 of May of 1935. Schenck became the executive and Zanuck was the head of the production. The main agent of this Rogers company was killed in a plane collapse and the main actress Janet Gaynor also began perdidoso reputation. Then Zanuck decided to sign for above to new artists with a certain fresh talent.

After the world war, they attracted the public to the television more. The Fox began to experiment in new ideas to bring again to the crowd to the theater. With the aid of three projectors the film was projected in an enormous concave curve, that created the illusion of the three-dimensional character. The effect was reached without glasses polarized with the aid of the French projection anamorphic, and this characteristic was named Cinemascope. They made other owners of the theater to change to this technology and also to bore the conversion costs. “The suit” and “how to marry to a millionaire one” it was the first experimental films to use this technology. After seeing their success other rival studies also adopted this technique. Although this would attract hearings during some time the begun numbers to fall again before 1956. The same Zanuck year announced its resignation.

The Adler pal fitted in the shoes of Darryl Zanuck but he also died after a year. Other that followed could not make any thing to bring success to the company. The producer Gualterio Wagner convinced to Elizabeth Taylor to star in “Cleopatra” and the demonstrated film to be a blow. They obtain the Marilyn actress who Monroe also roped inside to work in “something to give”. But due to its premature death the film was left unfinished. Other films also were undertaken and Spyros Skouras the successor of the Adler pal could not handle to the company correctly. Zanuck returned behind again and somehow made directors to retire it. He made his son Richard Zanuck to president. In first Zanuck he could give you seed successes as “the sound of music” but its credentials there were again asked to chain of failures later that. They cleared it possible of the company and president Dennis Stanfill and production main Alan Ladd, Jr threw of the later part of the company. Many investors assembled the car of the band and the great blows were produced always later that.
