Richard Dreyfuss narrates a celebration of Universal Studios’ history. Founded as IMP by Carl Laemmle to challenge Edison’s Motion Picture Trust, it grew under 21‑year‑old Irving Thalberg, whose silent‑era classics featured John Ford, Erich von Stroheim and Lon Chaney. In the sound era, Carl Laemmle Jr. oversaw hits such as All Quiet on the Western Front, Showboat, and the monster series Frankenstein and Dracula.
