Background
The title The Lion Roars Again is a play on MGM's famous opening shot, Leo the Lion surrounded by rolls of film, the MGM title, the saying Ars Gratia Artis, and the word trademark. During the 1960s and early 1970s MGM was said to have lost its luster and hold as a Hollywood stronghold. The phrase the lion has lost his roar became a popular saying for the MGM name. This film was to document MGM's comeback after Kirk Kerkorian bought the company, downsized severely, sold off assets, and otherwise attempted to revive the company.
