The Brothers Warner

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 pioneering (risking all the talkies) and politics (standing alone in Hollywood against the Nazis), of reels (The Public Enemy, Casablanca and more) and rifts (including a shocking family betrayal). It's a story told from the inside (via rare family archives) by those who lived it (among them such starts as Dennis Hopper, Debbie Reynolds, Tab Hunter and more) and from the outside by film historians. The people, the picture, the tales untold on camera until now. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)
