The Warner brothers made their 1st major film -- a semi-documentary about the Ambassador from the U.S. to Germany entitled My Four Years in Germany -- in 1919. Originally a B-studio turning out serials & melodramas, they changed the movies forever in 1927 when they produced The Jazz SingerÓ with Al Jolson, the first talking movie. Throughout the thirties, Warner Bros. was famous for its tough-guy crime films, like Public EnemyÓ with James Cagney, & spectacular Busby Berkeley musicals like 42nd Street.Ó The studio continued to thrive during WW2 & the following decades. Lavishly illustrated with 240 photos in color & B&W, this is a celebration of a great studio.Aylesworth, Thomas G. is the author of 'Best of Warner Brothers' with ISBN 9780788192623 and ISBN 0788192620.
