And no, the history of film is not just for the Lounge. Part of the "American Masters" series on PBS.

I always liked Warner Bros.' gritty approach to movies, and I look forward to this show.

You dirty rats (I know, I know, he never said that. . . but he should have). http://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/

3. "White Heat." He was one of the most deranged characters in film history there.
Yet he could play the gentlest of characters, whether George M. Cohan or in many light comedies.

One of the all-time greats, for sure: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=160

4. I have a great story about the Warner Brothers
My grandfather knew them and they asked him to invest. He laughed at them and refused because he just knew that talking pictures wouldn't go over with the public.

5. Oops! That is a great story, though.
Methinks he should have tossed a few bucks their way. . .

6. If you Really want to see a good Documentary
about Warner Brothers, you should check out this:

Cass Warner has done one hell of a job on this.
