The black and white sound film Romance of Iron and Steel, produced in 1938 for ARMCO, follows their entire process of steel production, from the mining of ore to the manufacturing facility to the finished product. It begins with an overview of the American Rolling Mill Company Research Division in Middletown, Ohio, and emphasizes the importance of research for the company throughout. The Cleveland ore docks and interiors shot at ARMCO facilities in Baltimore, Maryland, and Butler, Pennsylvania, serve as locations for most of the film. The film concludes with a message about "ARMCO men" and company culture with an address by ARMCO founder George M. Verity.
