United Artists

Hollywood film-production, releasing, and distribution company. It was formed in 1919 by the silent-screen stars Charles Chaplin, Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks Sr, and the director D W Griffith, in order to take control of their artistic and financial affairs. The company nearly collapsed after the box-office disaster of Michael Cimino's Heaven's Gate (1980), and UA was subsequently bought by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.

United Artists films include the classics Some Like It Hot (1959), West Side Story (1961), and Midnight Cowboy (1969); the modern classics Annie Hall (1977) and Rain Man (1988); and the successful Pink Panther and James Bond series.
