“Warner Bros.’ history is TCM history. Where would this network be without films like Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon, or A Star is Born? We are thrilled to be honoring the studio that has given us so many iconic films since 1923,” said Pola Changnon, general manager of TCM.
“In addition to this wide swath of films, we are programming a tapestry of trailers, archival interviews and more that will further highlight the studio’s legacy, so much of which can’t be found anywhere but on TCM.”
Programming throughout the month will be organized thematically and showcase the breadth of the studio’s films from classic to current, with categories including “Warner Joins a Gang,” “Warner Goes to School,” “Warner Raises a Family,” “Warner Turns to Crime,” and more.
Some evenings are devoted to great directors like John Huston or a great contracted actor like Humphrey Bogart.
TCM premieres will include documentaries such as Jack L. Warner: The Last Mogul (1993), TCM Originals like Jet Jockeys in Love: The Making of Chain Lightning, and iconic films like Full Metal Jacket (1987), Million Dollar Baby (2004), and Argo (2012).
In addition, this May will mark the release of Warner Bros.: 100 Years of Storytelling, a book chronicling the centennial history of the studio, written by Mark Vieira with a foreword by TCM Host Ben Mankiewicz. Published by Running Press in partnership with TCM and Warner Bros., it features unforgettable stars and untold stories, plus rare images from the Warner Bros. vault bringing a century of entertainment to vivid life.
