Description

George Feltenstein and Jeff Briggs of Warner Bros join the podcast to discuss one of the most important films in the history of the studio.  The political thriller "Confessions of a NAZI SPY," (1939) was the first feature film from a major studio to take on the fascism of Hitler and the Nazi Party.  Based on real-life events, the film delves into a spy ring in New York that recruited Americans into the German American Bund.  George and Jeff detail the courage of the brothers Warner to take on this material, develop it into a feature film, and the casting of stars Edward G. Robinson, Francis Lederer, George Sanders, and Paul Lukas.  Many actors in supporting roles and production crew went uncredited due to fears of reprisals against their familys still in Europe.  George also details the remastering of the film for the new Blu-ray and the robust extras that are included.  This is a terrific film that is also one of the most important films in the Warner Bros catalog.  This episode is part of our 100th year celebration of Warner Bros.Link to article mentioned in the podcastPurchase on Moviezyng:Confessions of a Nazi SpyPurchase on Amazon:Confessions of a NAZI SPY Blu-rayThe Mortal Storm Blu-rayWatch on the Rhine DVDBlack Legion DVD The Extras Facebook pageThe Extras Twitter Warner Archive & Warner Bros Catalog GroupOtaku Media produces podcasts, behind-the-scenes extras, and media that connect creatives with their fans and businesses with their consumers.
