My Four Years In Germany

First full length feature film (silent) by Warner Brothers.

With the success of this film the Warner brothers became Warner Brothers.

Gerard bankrolled the production and distribution of the film.

He insisted on an actor playing his role that was his near double.

Gerard became a film star without appearing in the film.

He could not walk down the street in New York without people
stopping, staring and pointing anywhere he went.

More correctly first full length propaganda film. Need to see the whole thing to appreciate the depth of the propaganda. If you know the history of this period and have not seen the film it would be well worth your time to get a copy.
