From the Headlines to Hollywood: The Birth and Boom of Warner Bros.

By Chris Yogerst

Book Overview

This book looks at how the Warner Bros. studio used edgy, stylistic, and brutally honest films to construct a view of America from 1927-1941. Author Chris Yogerst looks at how the Warner Bros. films during this period represented important cultural and social changes--from the coming of sound in film, the Great Depression, the rise of crime, and the increased concern about fascism leading up to World War II.
