Presented by Orson Welles Written by BENNY GREEN 5:The Warner Brothers
Warner Bros concentrated on the big issues, pictures which could be encapsulated in a phrase from a banner headline.
'Jack was In charge of West Coast production. Harry was the financial end of it, usually in New York. Albert was in charge of distribution, and Sam functioned in a general overall capacity, but his efforts in developing talking pictures meant that Warners had a lead on everyone else in the business.' (HAL B. WALLIS ) with the voices of JOAN BLONDELL , DOUGLAS FAIR-BANKS JR, JACK HALEY JR, ALAN J. LERNER , GEORGE SIDNEY , HAL B. WALLIS , JACK WARNER and HARRY WARREN Research JANE MERCER and BILL SULLIVAN Producer
