书籍简介

在这部好莱坞伟大的制片厂的官方百年历史中，令人难忘的明星、不为人知的故事以及来自华纳兄弟金库的珍稀图片将一个世纪的娱乐生活展现得淋漓尽致。

华纳兄弟的历史不仅是一个传奇电影制片厂及其明星的故事，而且是经典好莱坞本身的故事，也是上个世纪美国的写照。这是一个波兰犹太移民的家庭故事——华纳兄弟，他们利用了新兴电影业的新机会，当时四个特立独行的人可以发明一些经营方式，抵御政府的监管，并在美国黑暗的一些日子里让观众不断地回来观看。

创新是他们早期成功的关键。公司成立四年后，通过在《爵士歌手》（1927年）中引入声音，彻底改变了电影制作。明星和故事赋予了华纳兄弟独特的身份，在这里，像汉弗莱-鲍嘉这样的硬汉和像贝蒂-戴维斯这样的女强人让人们坐立不安。多年来，这些广受赞誉的演员和无数其他演员在华纳兄弟的音响舞台上创造了奇迹，并对诸如《卡萨布兰卡》、《欲望号街车》、《一个明星的诞生》、《邦妮与克莱德》、《马尔科姆-X》、《凯迪拉克》、《紫雨》等各种经典作品负责。

这家电影公司通过《马耳他之鹰》和其他类型的经典影片将黑色幽默融入电影中，标志性的Looney Tunes在这里被释放出来，这家电影公司在第二次世界大战开始时采取了不受欢迎的立场，制作了反纳粹电影。《发条橙》（A Clockwork Orange）和《驱魔人》（The Exorcist）等反文化作品使该工作室度过了70年代和80年代。像《哈利·波特》、DC宇宙等特许经营现象，继续塑造着电影史上的电影愿景和长寿。这些故事以及更多的内容都被记录在这本全面而令人惊叹的书中。

In this official centennial history of the greatest studio in Hollywood, unforgettable stars, untold stories, and rare images from the Warner Bros. vault bring a century of entertainment to vivid life.

The history of Warner Bros. is not just the tale of a legendary film studio and its stars, but of classic Hollywood itself, as well as a portrait of America in the last century. It’s a family story of Polish-Jewish immigrants—the brothers Warner—who took advantage of new opportunities in the burgeoning film industry at a time when four mavericks could invent ways of operating, of warding off government regulation, and of keeping audiences coming back for more during some of the nation's darkest days.

Innovation was key to their early success. Four years after its founding, the studio revolutionized moviemaking by introducing sound in The Jazz Singer (1927). Stars and stories gave Warner Bros. its distinct identity as the studio where tough guys like Humphrey Bogart and strong women like Bette Davis kept people on the edge of their seats. Over the years, these acclaimed actors and countless others made magic on WB’s soundstages and were responsible for such diverse classics as Casablanca, A Streetcar Named Desire, A Star Is Born, Bonnie & Clyde, Malcolm X, Caddyshack, Purple Rain, and hundreds more.

It’s the studio that put noir in film with The Maltese Falcon and other classics of the genre, where the iconic Looney Tunes were unleashed on animation, and the studio that took an unpopular stance at the start of World War II by producing anti-Nazi films. Counter-culture hits like A Clockwork Orange and The Exorcist carried the studio through the 1970s and '80s. Franchise phenomena like Harry Potter, the DC universe, and more continue to shape a cinematic vision and longevity that is unparalleled in the annals of film history. These stories and more are chronicled in this comprehensive and stunning volume.
