About the Author 227
V
More than any other studio, Warner Bros, used edgy, stylistic, and brutally honest
films to construct a view of America that was different from the usual buoyant
Hollywood fare. The studio took seriously Harry Warner’s mandate that their
films had a duty to educate and demonstrate key values of free speech, religious
tolerance, and freedom of the press. This attitude was most aptly demonstrated in
films produced by the studio between 1927 and 1941—a period that saw not only
the arrival of sound in film but also the Great Depression, the rise of crime, and
increased concern about fascism in the lead-up to World War II.
In From the Headlines to Hollywood: The Birth and Boom of Warner Bros., Chris
Yogerst explores how “the only studio with any guts” established the groundwork and
perfected formulas for social romance dramas, along with gangster, war, espionage,
and adventure films. The author discusses such films as The Public Enemy, Little
Caesar, G-Men, The Life of Emile Zola, Angels with Dirty Faces, and Confessions of
a Nazi Spy, illustrating how their plots truly were “ripped from the headlines.”
►
While much of what has been written about Warner Bros, has focused on the plots of
popular films or broad overviews of the studio’s output, this volume sets these in the
larger context of the period, an era in which lighthearted fare competed with gritty
realism. From the Headlines to Hollywood will appeal to readers with interests in
film history, social history, politics, and entertainment.
CHRIS YOGERST is assistant professor of communication at the University of
Wisconsin Colleges, where he teaches courses in film, media, and popular culture.
His work has been published in Senses of Cinema, Journal of Film and Video,
Journal of Religion and Film, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, and Atlantic Monthly.
