100 Years of Storytelling for Warner Bros.

From the Publisher

From the Preface by Mark A. Vieira:

Four brothers from Ohio started a film company, with their first star being a dog and their next star being Broadway's greatest actor. They climbed to the top of the industry with the technology of sound, but they lost a brother in the process. They not only survived the Great Depression but also thrived by making musicals such as Footlight Parade. Their studio was the home of unique stars: Joan Blondell, James Cagney, Kay Francis, Edward G. Robinson, Bette Davis, Humphrey Bogart, and Paul Muni. Theirs was the only studio to blow the whistle on fascism, and they boosted morale during World War II with films such as Casablanca. In the 1950s, after adapting to 3-D, widescreen, and stereo, Warner Bros. was one of the first Hollywood studios to enter television production.

Warner Bros. started as a family business, and this book could be the family album. It's a record of extraordinary entertainment history, a panoply of the greatest names, faces, and talents in Hollywood lore.
