It's a family story of Polish-Jewish immigrants—the brothers Warner—who took advantage of new opportunities in the burgeoning film industry at a time when four mavericks could invent ways of operating, ward off government regulation, and keep audiences coming back for more during some of the nation's darkest days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInnovation was key to their early success. Four years after its founding, the studio revolutionised moviemaking by introducing sound in \u003ci\u003eThe Jazz Singer\u003c\/i\u003e (1927). Stars and stories gave Warner Bros. its distinct identity as the studio where tough guys like Humphrey Bogart and strong women like Bette Davis kept people on the edge of their seats. Over the years, these acclaimed actors and countless others made magic on WB's soundstages and were responsible for such diverse classics as \u003ci\u003eCasablanca\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Streetcar Named Desire\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Star Is Born\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBonnie \u0026amp; Clyde\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMalcolm X\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCaddyshack\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePurple Rain\u003c\/i\u003e, and hundreds more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's the studio that put noir in film with \u003ci\u003eThe Maltese Falcon\u003c\/i\u003e and other classics of the genre, where the iconic Looney Tunes were unleashed on animation, and the studio that took an unpopular stance at the start of World War II by producing anti-Nazi films. Counter-culture hits like \u003ci\u003eA Clockwork Orange\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Exorcist\u003c\/i\u003e carried the studio through the 1970s and '80s. Franchise phenomena like Harry Potter, the DC universe, and more continue to shape a cinematic vision and longevity that is unparalleled in the annals of film history. These stories and more are chronicled in this comprehensive and stunning volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCopyright 2023 Warner Bros.
