Jack Warner's Reluctant Entry into Television

TVC 620.3: Gregory Orr, son of William T. Orr, the original head of television production at Warner Bros. Studios, and the grandson of Warner Bros. co-founder Jack L. Warner, talks to Ed about the some of the many film stars and television stars that Warner Bros. developed during the era of the studio system, and how Jack Warner took little interest in the development of his television division beyond seeing it as a source of revenue.   The director’s cut of Greg’s 1993 documentary Jack L. Warner: The Last Mogul is available now for streaming on demand on all major platforms and on DVD through outlets such as MovieZyng.com.
