A propos de cet article

Inscribed by General George C. Kenney to Jack Warner, CEO of Warner Bros. Studios: "To Jack L. Warner, with sincere appreciation and best wishes to a swell guy who has done a lot for Air Power and aviation in general. George C. Kenney. Gen. USAF," dated 10/18/54.

Jack remained critical of Germany throghout the rise of Nazism in the early 1930s, even as he and the studio faced backlash for the perspective. In 1939, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover recommended to Jack that the studio produce Confessions of a Nazi Spy, which became the first explicitly anti-Nazi film to be released by a major American studio. Throughout the war, Warner Bros. Studios continued to produce films with anti-Nazi themes, including, most famously, Casablanca (1943), as well as the controversial Mission to Moscow (1943), a propaganda film produced at the request of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Near Fine.…
