Turner Classic Movies (TCM) is set to present a robust slate of films and panel discussions that will air in conjunction with the network’s original seven-part documentary series, MOGULS & MOVIE STARS: A HISTORY OF HOLLYWOOD. TCM’s epic journey through the history of the American movie industry premieres Monday, Nov. 1, at 8 p.m. (ET), with encore presentations airing on Wednesday nights at 10 p.m. (ET). Every installment of MOGULS & MOVIE STARS will be followed by films from or about the eras covered each week, including The Birth of a Nation (1915), Citizen Kane (1941), Casablanca (1942), Sunset Blvd. (1950), Singin’ in the Rain (1952), Bonnie and Clyde (1967) and more. A brief panel discussion with TCM host Robert Osborne; MOGULS & MOVIE STARS writer and producer Jon Wilkman; and film commentators and historians featured in the series, including Cari Beauchamp, David Thomson and Jeanine Basinger; will air after each Wednesday encore, enhancing the epic story of the people, power and periods that created the Hollywood dynasty.
TCM’s seven-part MOGULS & MOVIE STARS features rarely seen photographs and film footage; clips from memorable American movies; and interviews with distinguished historians and major Hollywood figures, including Sidney Lumet, Richard Zanuck, Samuel Goldwyn Jr., Peter Bogdanovich, Gore Vidal, Robert Osborne and Molly Haskell. The project is narrated by two-time EmmyÒ winner and 2009 Academy AwardÒ nominee Christopher Plummer (The Last Station) and is produced by TCM in association with Bill Haber’s Ostar Productions and Turner Entertainment Co.
TCM’s MOGULS & MOVIE STARS premiere episode “Peepshow Pioneers” will feature a wide array of revolutionary work by Thomas Edison, D.W. Griffith and Georges Melies, with such titles as Edison’s The Great Train Robbery (1903) and Melies’ A Trip to the Moon (1902). The Nov. 3 encore will be accompanied by movies about the era, including Nickelodeon (1976) and The Magic Box (1952).
On Monday, Nov. 8, the series will look at the rise of the movie industry in “The Birth of Hollywood.” It will be followed by such silent masterpieces as Griffith’s The Birth of a Nation (1915) and George Loane Tucker’s Traffic in Souls (1913). The Wednesday, Nov. 10, encore will be accompanied by silent classics, including The Poor Little Rich Girl (1917) and The Squaw Man (1914).
The MOGULS & MOVIE STARS episode “The Dream Merchants” on Monday, Nov. 15, will tackle the 1920s, when cinema began to come into its own as an art form. The night’s films include Sunrise (1927), Flesh and the Devil (1926) and Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (1921). The Wednesday, Nov. 17, encore will be featured alongside comedy classics like Charlie Chaplin’s The Immigrant (1917), The Kid (1921), Steamboat Bill Jr. (1928) and Safety Last (1923).
Both the advent of sound on film and the economic pressures of the Depression brought many changes to Hollywood, as revealed in the Monday, Nov. 22, episode “Brother, Can You Spare a Dream?” TCM will showcase frothy musicals and gritty dramas that became popular during this era, including Footlight Parade (1933), The Public Enemy (1931), Little Caesar (1930) and I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang (1932). The Wednesday, Nov. 24, encore will be presented along with 1930s gems, including Duck Soup (1933) and Top Hat (1935).
Bringing the series to the 1940s, the Monday, Nov. 29, “Warriors and Peacemakers” installment of MOGULS & MOVIE STARS will be featured alongside the wartime films Casablanca (1942), The Great Dictator (1940) and They Were Expendable (1945). The Wednesday, Dec. 1, encore will be joined by such masterpieces as Stagecoach (1939), Citizen Kane (1941) and Mildred Pierce (1945).
With the arrival of television, movies once again had to adapt to changing tastes. The “Attack of the Small Screens” episode of MOGULS & MOVIE STARS will premiere Monday, Dec. 6, with films including Marty (1955), A Face in the Crowd (1957), Sweet Smell of Success (1957) and A Streetcar Named Desire (1951).

TCM’s MOGULS & MOVIE STARS will wrap up its look at the history of movies with “Fade Out, Fade In,” premiering Monday, Dec. 13. The episode looks at the fall of the big studio moguls and the rise of independent filmmakers who were determined to speak with their own voices. TCM will celebrate the decade with such films as Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner (1967), Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962) and The Magnificent Seven (1960) on Dec. 13, as well as independent films like Night of the Living Dead (1968), Bonnie and Clyde (1967), Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
