PolyGram Filmed Entertainment was a film company created by the people at the PolyGram music company as a way to get into film production and create a viable European competitor to the [[Hollywood]] studios. Over its twenty-year existence, the company managed to produce and distribute many successful UK productions (bringing people such as Hugh Grant and Richard Curtis into worldwide fame) and producing a number of American films in joint ventures with [[Disney]] and [[Universal]]. In 1998, they were bought out by Seagram (then owners of Universal), [[So What Do We Do Now?|who, after failing to find a buyer]] absorbed the company into Universal (though most of the company's back catalog now rests with [[Metro Goldwyn Mayer]]).
