Description
The Making of an American Movie Studio by David Thomson Behind the scenes at Warner Brothers film studio, four immigrant brothers transformed themselves into Hollywood moguls. From its shaky beginnings in the early twentieth century, the studio rose to become one of the smartest and most influential in Hollywood. David Thomson explores the fascinating history of Warner Brothers Pictures, from the pioneering talkie The Jazz Singer through iconic films like Casablanca, East of Eden, and Bonnie and Clyde. He also delves into the lives of the studio's larger-than-life stars, including Al Jolson, James Cagney, Bette Davis, Errol Flynn, Humphrey Bogart, James Dean, Doris Day, and Bugs Bunny. Thomson reveals how Warner Brothers' cultural impact was profound, helping to shape America's perception of its cinematic identity.
