A WB picture had a distinct, gritty look and style to it - a combination of efficient rather than gaudy production value, well-written and usually compact scripts, lighting that often presaged the style that later came to be so characteristic of film noir, and naturalistic performances from its actors and actresses.
By the 1950s, the big studios had begun to lose much of the power they had previously wielded as they were forced to divest themselves of the theatre chains that they had used to ensure block-booking of their product.
From 1930 to the end of 1959, WB released 1130 feature films with the output diminishing from about 75 to less than 20 titles annually over the 30-year period.
