A FAMILY SAGA,
By
This review is from: Brothers Warner (DVD)
A sort of compagnon documentary to YOU MUST REMEMBER THIS:THE WARNER BROTHERS STORY by the grand daughter of HARRY WARNER,the eldest of the brothers.You get to know the family that had it share of tragedy and controversy over the years:One of the brothers had a terminal illness and HARRY WARNER's son died at the age of 23.HARRY and JACK had a lifelong hatred of eachother that culminated in the eviction of HARRY from the company that he co-founded.There are comments from others members of the family who knew them well and also from actors like DENNIS HOPPER,DEBBIE REYNOLDS etc.Those who want to go deeper in details should get the book also written by the grand daughter of HARRY WARNER.I found this worth viewing but rather sad.One feels that this overview is a teaser for the book.

A great documentary on four founders of the film industry,
By calvinnme - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Brothers Warner (DVD)
Cass Warner, producer of this film, is actually the granddaughter of Harry Warner, one of the four original Warner Brothers. This DVD is not a retread of "You Must Remember This", the documentary which focused on the studio. This is the story of the four Warner Brothers themselves, starting back in the 19th century and their ventures into the entertainment industry that predate the forming of Warner Brothers the company by twenty years. It goes forward past the time that they exited the running of Warner Brothers the company and talks about the lives of the brothers themselves. Although Ms. Warner is a descendent, she doesn't get overly sentimental about her subject nor does she try to smooth over the real problems that the brothers had in their own private lives and with each other. The book by the same name has much more detail, of course, but this is still a very fascinating documentary for those interested in film history.

WONDERFUL BOOK AND NOW A DVD IS AVAILABLE TOO!,
By Eric R. Glasby - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Brothers Warner (DVD)
Recently (on ebay) I was very fortunate to win a 1994 copy of CASS WARNER's beautifully written story of her family's Motion Picture and Television empire.Jack Warner's "betrayal", as chronicled in the later Chapters was a real eye-opener for an interested reader not aware of all this previously "unaired" background history. Being at the final couple chapters this afternoon, I was curious to check the IMDB Site to learn about the current story of the lady and the background of other original contributors to the book. Having just learnt then, that a wonderful (Award winning) program had been recently made was an extra bonus. The DVD has now been ordered and is awaited with eager interest. That such books and programs are still being produced is so special in that younger readers and filmgoers - as well as those of us born in earlier times - can learn even more about the basic background of what was entailed, and went on "behind doors" in the corridors and offices during the Studio System era. Now in its Seventh printing, Cass's Book should be bought and read by everyone interested in "The Movies". I have not read Jack Warner's Autobiography - and it seems that he overlooked many pertinent facts that were probably too sensitive to himself to admit to, but several other books on the Warner Studio are a wonderful read including: INSIDE WARNER BRS. 1935 - 1951 by RUDY BEHLMER (1985) and WARNER BROS. PRESENTS by TED SENNETT (1971), and especially: THOSE CRAZY WONDERFUL YEARS WHEN WE RAN WARNER BROS. (1983) by STUART JEROME, who, in 1938, initially secured a position as a young man in the Warner Bros. Mail Room. A truly interesting "first hand" account of life on the Warner Lot. Do try to obtain and read all these fine books. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful:

A great Hollywood documentary!,
By Hakim - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Brothers Warner (DVD)
I can't say enough about this wonderful film by Cass Warner, and ironically I can't add much to what has already been said: fascinating, illuminating, entertaining - especially to those of us who worked there at any time in the studio's history. A must-see!
