To introduce a new Friday season of great Warner Brothers pictures, a nostalgic look back at Hollywood's booming 30s. A look back to the days when the pictures were fun; but making them was something else. Recalling the hard work, technical skill and glamour of the era at Warner Brothers, the foremost studio at that time, are: The Stars: Bette Davis, Edward G. Robinson, Olivia de Havilland, Pat O'Brien, Joan Blondell
The Directors: Busby Berkeley, Mervyn LeRoy, William Wellman
The Writers: Dalton Trumbo, John Bright
And producer Hal Wallis
Warner Brothers practically invented the gangster movie, and pioneered the hard-hitting social dramas like I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang. On the lighter side there were the delirious musicals of Busby Berkeley, like Gold Diggers of 1933. Cagney, Bogart and Errol Flynn; Little Caesar, Jezebel and Captain Blood; they are all here.

Talk about let there be light. Shortage of supplies makes things even more difficult than usual at the 4077th - like operating in the dark. Mind you, one surgeon, who shall be nameless, takes an unnecessary risk with his patient-after all, it's not his life....

This Oscar award-winning documentary is an innovative science 'fact-fiction' film, based on the premise that all species of life are on the decline except two - man and insects. Set against the microphotography of insect behaviour and adaptability, a fictional Dr Hellstrom suggests the possible outcome of man's competition with insects.
