 Warner Brothers Presents
Warner Brothers Presents, the first television program produced by Warner Brothers Pictures, appeared on ABC during the 1955-1956 season.
The alternating series of Warner Brothers Presents were seen by both studio and network as an ongoing experiment in an effort to gauge the public taste for filmed television drama.
Consequently, episodes of Warner Brothers Presents were written, produced, and edited on minuscule budgets at a frenetic pace unseen at the studio since the B-grade movies of the 1930s.

Warner Brothers has released “Warner Brothers Pictures Gangster Collection,” with six of the most powerful and influential films from their library.
Four of the pictures are headlined by James Cagney, a Warners contract player with an independent streak who, because of the respect and immense popularity he generated, had more clout when it came to creative input than most of his peers.
This picture bombed at the box office when released, partly because French audiences were expecting a traditional, rough-and-tumble gangster film, not a period romance amid the backdrop of cheap hoods and ramshackle bars.

 "Three Women"
There is one thing that audiences won't want until they have seen the picture, for Pauline Frederick is not yet of the age where she is to be relegated to "mother roles." In this picture she plays a mother to an 18-year-old daughter.
She is strikingly bedecked in jewels and Cody, with his creditors hounding him, steps right into the picture, and before long manages to lay a touch for $100,000, which is pretty heavy lover stuff even with a $3,000,000 widow.
Now in "Three Women," his newest picture for Warner Brothers, he has taken an intimate story with an American setting, that is straight domestic drama dealing with human frailties and handled it in the same masterful way.

Don’t let this put you off though, for with his second artist album, ‘Pictures’, the affable German has produced an intelligent, eclectic and layered work.
Next, the single ‘First Day’ continues the slightly foreboding tone with Molko intoning “It’s the first day of your life… don’t fuck it up” on top of a tune which is currently and rightfully being hammered all over clubland.
