Description

The Warner Brothers is a story about four brothers who helped shape the world of entertainment as we know it. From their humble origins in Poland to their rise to fame and fortune in Hollywood, Chris Yogerst chronicles the journey of Harry, Albert, Sam, and Jack Warner. With unwavering resolve, the brothers overcame challenges such as the Great Depression and World War II, producing competitive films that engaged audiences and kept their operations afloat. They also used their platform to push beyond the limits of the Production Code, creating important films about real-world issues and openly criticizing radicalism and the Nazi regime. The result is a global filmmaking powerhouse, built on the brothers' identities as cultural and economic outsiders. This book provides a fascinating insight into the Warners' lives and legacy, shedding light on their contributions to cinema history.
