This photo of the Warner Brothers – First National PicturesStudios on Olive Ave in Burbank was taken in 1936, the year that movies produced there were no longer either Warner or First National but were all credited as Warner-First National. The building is still there but is now covered with billboards advertising the TV shows currently in production. But it makes me wonder what films were in production when this photo was taken: “ThePetrified Forest”? “The Story of Louis Pasteur”? “Satan Met A Lady” (which was an earlier incarnation of “The Maltese Falcon.”)?
The same view in February 2018:
Thanks for sending me this link, Martin. When my family moved to burbank back in 1942, we lived just a few blocks from the studio and would drive right by it on the way to Hollywood. I remember the studio looking very much like this over the years. It seems that TV has taken over the studio these days. I prefered the time when, before television, Warners was known for all those great noir films.
