Descripción del producto
The epic documentary portrait of the pioneering film producer whose studio, Warner Bros., gave us such Hollywood classics as Little Caesar, The Adventures of Robin Hood, Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon, Yankee Doodle Dandy, Rebel Without A Cause, My Fair Lady, Bonnie & Clyde and hundreds more. Hailed by reviewers as "one of the best films about a movie studio," Jack L. Warner: The Last Mogul reveals the behind-the-scenes story of the man whom Bette Davis, Errol Flynn, James Cagney, Edward G. Robinson, Humphrey Bogart, and Bugs Bunny called "boss". Produced by Jack Warner's grandson, Emmy Award-nominated filmmaker Gregory Orr, the film provides an insider's access to memories and material never before seen by the public. Included are rare photographs, home movies, Warner Bros. film clips and exclusive interviews that capture the life and times of a Hollywood legend.

My favorite parts of the documentary are the vintage studio/Hollywood stuff -- photos and old films of very early and Golden Age Hollywood. Hollywood itself is the lure and transcends the title subject, Jack Warner, even acknowledging the pivotal role he played in building that empire.
The remarks at near the end of the documentary about how fickle a town Hollywood is, how Jack Warner was regarded as nothing once he left the studio, in an odd way capture the pitfalls of this documentary. Which, in my opinion, is spending too much time on family member interviews. I get the desire of the family to contribute, and the fact that the person who made this project is himself a family member, but honestly, most of what the family members have to say is uninteresting from a Hollywood/historical perspective. The sibling rivalry and heir-apparent turmoil among the brothers Warner is prosaic and not nearly as gripping as how movies were getting made at Warner Bros. all those years.
The juiciest tidbits about showbiz horse swapping (in the Warners' case, literal horse swapping) come very early in the documentary. These are great anecdotes, and I wish the filmmaker had stuck with this approach consistently throughout. But instead, the deeper we get into the story, the more the family and personal dramas take over. Not what I'm watching this documentary for.
Unfortunately, I think time was the enemy of the filmmaking here. Almost all the celebrity interviewees we would want to hear from talk about making movies at Warner Bros. with Jack Warner were long gone by 1993. We get Shirley Jones and a wee sprinkling of Debbie Reynolds, but that's pretty much it. We hear a lot ABOUT Cagney, Bogey, Davis, Flynn, Edward G. Robinson and other WB legends, but nothing FROM them. Nope, let's cut to Sam Warner's widow talking about how Al Jolson was not a nice man. smh.
The Warner Bros. lawsuit against Bette Davis, which the studio won but which ultimately led to some uncharacteristic bending on the part of Jack Warner afterwards as he sought to steer better roles her way, seems like it would have an appropriate topic for a few minutes' consideration in this documentary. We get nothing on that incident. Or Olivia de Havilland's lawsuit against WB. We get a trade paper headline on de Havilland being released from her WB contract but nothing about how Jack Warner tried to get other studios to blacklist de Havilland after her victory in court. (If you want to delve into the man's psyche, consider the radically different treatment these two actresses received from him after big, highly publicized court battles. De Havilland beat him in court and he was an astoundingly sore loser. Whereas he seems to have been a gracious winner with Davis, who did not prevail in court.)
It's these relationships, the ones Jack Warner had with the talent at the studio, which are more germane to the Jack Warner story than Jack's estranged relationship with his son, Jack Jr. or how Harry was furious with Jack after Jack divorced his first wife. Again, the family turmoil is standard fare, and is not what led me to watch this documentary. So in that sense, the observation about Jack Warner apart from Warner Brothers is fairly on target, just not in the manner intended. Jack Warner the man was unexceptional, but Jack Warner the mogul is legendary. Too bad the documentary keeps wanting to put so much focus on the former.
