As many of you know, Warner’s has the largest film library of any studio due to numerous reasons that I will explain later in this thread. Due to their vast catalogue of films and Warner’s recent lack of DVD releases involving them, I felt a thread documenting Warner's titles was needed to make the membership aware of all the great films, we as consumers are being denied of seeing on the best available video format. I’m sure Warner’s lack of catalogue DVD releases is tied to their belief that many of the titles won’t sell in significantly enough numbers in order for them to make a profit. Though that might be true for some of the titles, I believe that many titles would sell well enough to justify their DVD release. If Warner doesn’t forecast a profit for some of those titles then I would think they can license them out to other distributors, like they’ve done with other titles. Also, a film company with such a long and distinguished film history, Warner owes it to the industry, fans of their films, and themselves to release their classic films on the best home video format available to the general public. Now, before I get to the title listing, I think it’s time for a little film studio history lesson.
Warner’s was started by the Warner brothers in the 1920’s. In the beginning, the company had some sharp talent at the head of their film production. Men such as Darryl Zanuck, Hal Wallis and Jack Warner oversaw productions starring Edward G. Robinson, James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, Bette Davis, Errol Flynn, and many others. Their forte was gangster films but soon Warner became known for producing some of the best adventure, melodrama, biographical, and mystery films on the movie screen. Like many of the studios, they ran into some financial trouble in the 1950’s, with the advent of television and the government forcing them to divest themselves of their theater chain. In the mid-fifties, Warner was forced to sell their pre-1950 film library which eventually became the property of United Artists. Later, I will tell you more of what happen to their library, but first its time to talk a little about MGM and RKO studios.
RKO Pictures was a small but important player in the beginning of the Golden Age of Film. The company was always in financial trouble but if you look at their film releases you would ask yourself why? Directors such as George Stevens, Alfred Hitchcock, Howard Hawks, Orson Welles and John Ford directed some of their best work for RKO. The studio’s films included horror films such as the original King Kong , elaborate musicals starring Astaire/Rogers, screwball comedies starring Grant and Hepburn, and some very good dramas such as a little film called Citizen Kane. Furthermore, the studio’s film releases in the film noir genre were probably the best ever produced by one studio. Over the years, the studio was sold several times and eventually the studio grounds which was next door to Paramount Studios was bought by Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. During the 1980’s, the rights to many of their films was bought by Ted Turner but more on that later.
Now, it’s time for the story of the Dream Factory better known as MGM. The studio was managed by Louie B. Mayer and Irving Thalberg. Also, David O. Selznick got his start at MGM and worked there a couple of times before establishing his own company. By the way, at one time Selznick was married to Mayer’s daughter before marrying Jennifer Jones in the 1940’s. Anyhow, the studio was the largest and richest during the Golden Age of Film. Their productions had large film budgets which made their films look more elaborate and refined. The look of MGM’s films versus Warner’s was like comparing a Cadillac to a Chevrolet. MGM’s stars included Gable, Tracy, Garbo, Harlow, Crawford, Stewart, Robert Taylor, William Powell, Myrna Loy, Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney, and countless others. But like the other studios in the 1950’s, they were also bitten by the antitrust bug and was forced by the government to divest their interest in the Loew’s theater chain. Further financial unrest was the norm for the studio over the next couple of decades. In the early 1980’s, they bought United Artists and became MGM/UA Entertainment. In the mid-80’s, Ted Turner bought MGM/UA, he then sold off their other interests and kept the hugh library of MGM films as well as the pre-1948 Warner and RKO films. The number of films involved was well over 3000 films, a very significant number which brings us to the 1990’s, when Turner Broadcasting Company was sold by Ted Turner to Time Warner. Also, during the past year or so, some film rights reverted back to MGM while others were exchanged and given to Warner. Confusing isn’t it?
As you can see, determination of which studio owns what film can be an annoyance. I can only imagined that Mayer, Thalberg, and Warner never thought that such confusion would exist as to the ownership of the great films they made during the Golden Age of Hollywood. To the best of my knowledge and my frustrated attempts to verify the film rights ownership, the following films are owned by Warner. Now, I will admit that some of them might be licensed to other distributors such as Anchor Bay or even owned by MGM but I’m confident that most of these films are the property of Warner. The listing of films is not meant to be inclusive in itself but it should allow you to see the vast number of films under the control of one studio. I don’t have a problem with Warner and I applaud them for their role in establishing the DVD format, however, as a very serious film buff, I’m imploring Warner’s to continue their support of the format by releasing these timeless classics to the best home video format known as DVD.
In closing, my listing includes only films not released on DVD in Region 1 for the United States and the listing doesn’t include titles that are either announced or seriously rumor to be coming out soon on DVD here in the States, films like Citizen Kane, Doctor Zhivago or Giant. Please, forgive me if I left off some titles but the listing is a work in progress and corrections will be made when necessary. By the way, Giant is already out on DVD in Canada and my question is why not in the States? I own the Canadian DVD and the video presentation of Giant is the best I’ve ever seen it.
