 United Artists - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On the basis of its fantastic string of film and television hits in the 1960s, the company was an attractive property, and in 1967 Krim and Benjamin sold control of UA to the San Francisco-based insurance giant, Transamerica Corp.
Some UA films of the 1930s, 1940s and early 1950s fell into the public domain, to be picked up by Republic Pictures (today part of Paramount Pictures) or small boutique houses like Castle Hill Productions.
The pre-1941 Samuel Goldwyn films released by UA are now held by a company with which Goldwyn feuded for years, MGM.

 John Huston
But it is his earlier films, especially THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE (1948), THE AFRICAN QUEEN (1951) and THE MALTESE FALCON (1941) which will ultimately be responsible for Huston's place in film history as a teller of imaginative tales of enchantment, quest and loss.
One of the first examples of film noir, this stylistically assured feature revealed his interests in ironic comedy and the motif of the unresolved quest.
The film won a supporting actress Oscar for Huston's daughter Anjelica, mirroring father Walter's win for THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE (1948).
