Must get both The Warner Bros and RKO stories. My G-d, when you mention WB you got to think of Cagney, Bogart, Muni, Edward G, Lorre, Henreid, and of course Errol Flynn and Bettie Davis. But their supporting people are amazing to. I think of Allan Hale, Frank McHugh, Henry Oneill, Donald Crisp and George Tobias. RKO, though not as big or as popular had some mighty fine movies such as King Kong, Gunga Din, Crossfire, and The Thing. We should mention such greats as Robert Mitchum, Cary Grant, and Robert Ryan, working for them.
