An off‑screen narrator guides us through cinema’s origins, showing early stars and blockbusters, and illustrating how sound entered film with clips of Al Jolson’s “Mammy” and John Barrymore as Richard III. He honors the 30,000 Hollywood workers across 272 crafts, displays a montage of those jobs, and explains the chemistry of celluloid (cotton and silver). The short promises further episodes on each production step. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2012.
