    • Trivia
      In the film clip from Casablanca a line is spoken which isn't in the film. The clip is from the end of Casablanca, at the airport, Richard Blaine (Humphrey Bogart) tells Major Heinrich Strasser (Conrad Veidt), "Alright Major, you asked for it" before he shoots him. The actual movie simply has Major Strasser pulling his gun and Rick shooting him.
    • Goofs
      Cass Warner Sperling's commentary states that the 1927 film "The Jazz Singer," starring Al Jolson, grossed more than any movie made to that time and remained the all-time box-office champ until the release of "Gone With the Wind." It was actually Jolson's next film, "The Singing Fool," that set the box-office record that lasted until "Gone With the Wind."
    • Quotes

      Self - Harry Warner's granddaughter, also narrator: The truth is, they were a phenomenal team that built an empire on a dream and revolutionized Hollywood while making the most classic, relevant movies of their time.
