WENR's Media Gems Announces Release of ``Gangster Story''.

LOS ANGELES -- Media Gems, a subsidiary of WENR Corp. (OTC:WNRC) (wenr.net), announced today that it has selected "Gangster Story," starring Walter Matthau, to be released with an interview with Mr. Matthau, a giant in the film industry. The release will be on DVD and VHS.

Actor Walter Matthau directed his first and only feature film with the black-and-white crime drama, "Gangster Story" (1960, 70 minutes). In an unusual non-comedic role, Matthau plays Jack Martin, a local gangster who wants to run his own crime syndicate in the neighborhood run by Earl Dawson (Bruce McFarlan). They eventually team up and plan a heist. Carol Grace plays the reform-minded girlfriend, Andrea LeVasseur.

Born Walter Matthow on October 1, 1920 to a pair of Russian-Jewish immigrants in New York City, Matthau grew up poor on the Lower East Side and started out selling soft drinks and playing bit parts at a Yiddish theater at age 11. He was paid 50 cents for each of his occasional onstage appearances. He lived with his older brother, Henry, and their mother, a garment worker, on the Lower East Side of New York. After graduating from Seward Park High School during the Depression, he took government jobs as a forester in Montana, a gym instructor for the Works Progress Administration and a boxing coach for policemen. During World War II, he served in the Army Air Corps as a radio cryptographer in a heavy bomber unit in Europe, and returned home a sergeant with six battle stars. In 1948, his first role was when he was hired as an understudy for the role of an 83-year-old English bishop in "Anne of the Thousand Days," starring Rex Harrison. His fame came with "The Fortune Cookie (1966)" and "The Odd Couple (1968)."
