MGM-Pathé Communications

MGM-Pathé Communications was an American film production company that operated in Los Angeles County, California from November 1, 1990 to July 2, 1992.

The company was founded and controlled by Italian financier Giancarlo Parretti through his purchase and merger of MGM/UA Communications Co. and Pathé Communications (unrelated to the French Pathé studio). The company was overshadowed by Parretti's fraudulent schemes and he found himself ousted from the studio in less than a year.
