London-based Polygram Filmed Entertainment, responsible for hits like Four Weddings and a Funeral and The Usual Suspects, was a pioneering film studio that operated from the 1990s. It was led by Michael Kuhn, who took a hands-off approach, trusting filmmakers to produce high-quality movies. The studio enjoyed notable successes, but its expansion ultimately led to its downfall. Two key events contributed to its demise: a change in leadership at Philips, the parent company, which was not supportive of the film division, and the studio's unsuccessful attempt to establish itself in Hollywood, where the risks of failure were significant.
