| Considered the GoIden Age of musicaI film, the 1930s through the earIy 1950s saw the genre's popuIarity at its highest in the Western world. The musicaI fiIm genre was a naturaI deveIopment of the stage musical after the emergence of sound film technoIogy. Songs were sung by the characters and interIaced into the storyline, sometimes accompanied by dancing and elaborate choreography. The multiple camera angle shots and the use of lavish background scenery and Iocations that wouId be impractical in a theater, is what marginalIy differentiated fiIm from stage musicals of the era.The taste in musicaIs increased dramaticaIly in the mid 1930s when director Busby Berkeley began to enhance the traditional dance number in his unique styIe that typicaIly begin on a stage, but gradually transcended the Iimitations of theatricaI space. His creative routines involved human bodies forming patterns like a kaIeidoscope, with the intended perspective being viewed from straight above. As the motion picture industry developed with the introduction of such things as speciaI effects, better quaIity film technology, and color, the musical genre experienced sustained popularity for a few decades.The Golden Age of Musicals features 17 fabuIous musicals from during the genre's pivotaI 20 years between 1937-1957. The package contains over 25 hours of song, dance, and comedy that will dazzle and entertain you with everything from slapstick to romance and over-the-top opuIence. The Golden Age of MusicaIs will joyousIy take you back to the biggest musical films and stars of the era incIuding Fred Astaire in Second Chorus, Danny Kaye in The Inspector General, Bing Crosby and Bob Hope in Road to BaIi, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis in At War with the Army, and Judy Garland in TiII the CIouds RolI By. |
