- Of the major studios, one was family. Harry, Albert, Sam, Jack the Warner brothers turned a storefront that used a sheet for a screen into a dream factory rooted in the credo of educate, entertain and enlighten. In this fascinating documentary, filmmaker (and Harry s granddaughter) Cass Warner Sperling tells a story of sibling rivalry, social conscience and the silver screen. It s a story of pione
DVD Reviews of The Brothers Warner
DVD Review: WONDERFUL BOOK AND NOW A DVD IS AVAILABLE TOO!
Summary: 5 Stars
Recently (on ebay) I was very fortunate to win a 1994 copy of CASS WARNER's beautifully written story of her family's Motion Picture and Television empire.
Jack Warner's "betrayal", as chronicled in the later Chapters was a real eye-opener for an interested reader not aware of all this previously "unaired" background history.
Being at the final couple chapters this afternoon, I was curious to check the IMDB Site to learn about the current story of the lady and the background of other original contributors to the book.
Having just learnt then, that a wonderful (Award winning) program had been recently made was an extra bonus. The DVD has now been ordered and is awaited with eager interest.
That such books and programs are still being produced is so special in that younger readers and filmgoers - as well as those of us born in earlier times - can learn even more about the basic background of what was entailed, and went on "behind doors" in the corridors and offices during the Studio System era.
Now in its Seventh printing, Cass's Book should be bought and read by everyone interested in "The Movies".
I have not read Jack Warner's Autobiography - and it seems that he overlooked many pertinent facts that were probably too sensitive to himself to admit to, but several other books on the Warner Studio are a wonderful read including:
INSIDE WARNER BRS. 1935 - 1951 by RUDY BEHLMER (1985) and
WARNER BROS. PRESENTS by TED SENNETT (1971), and especially:
THOSE CRAZY WONDERFUL YEARS WHEN WE RAN WARNER BROS. (1983) by STUART JEROME, who, in 1938, initially secured a position as a young man in the Warner Bros. Mail Room. A truly interesting "first hand" account of life on the Warner Lot.
Do try to obtain and read all these fine books.
