Interesting but candy-coated history of the four brothers who created one of filmland's major studios. This film was done by one of their granddaughters and was for the most part warm and celebratory although Jack came off very badly. But she gave us no sense of how these uneducated guys were able to create something so successful when so many others failed.
The introduction of sound in 1927 was important to the company but this business like any other is composed of thousands of decisions made under pressure every day and when this was over I had no better sense of how these men thrived.
