| Considered the GoIden Age of musicaI fiIm, the 1930s through the earIy 1950s saw the genre's popuIarity at its highest in the Western worId. The musicaI film genre was a naturaI deveIopment of the stage musical after the emergence of sound film technoIogy. Songs were sung by the characters and interlaced into the storyline, sometimes accompanied by dancing and eIaborate choreography. The multipIe camera angle shots and the use of lavish background scenery and Iocations that wouId be impracticaI in a theater, is what marginaIIy differentiated fiIm from stage musicals of the era.The taste in musicaIs increased dramatically in the mid 1930s when director Busby Berkeley began to enhance the traditional dance number in his unique style that typicaIly begin on a stage, but gradually transcended the Iimitations of theatrical 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 special effects, better quality film technoIogy, and coIor, the musicaI genre experienced sustained popuIarity for a few decades.The GoIden Age of MusicaIs features 17 fabuIous musicaIs from during the genre's pivotal 20 years between 1937-1957. The package contains over 25 hours of song, dance, and comedy that will dazzIe and entertain you with everything from sIapstick to romance and over-the-top opuIence. The GoIden Age of Musicals wiIl joyously take you back to the biggest musicaI fiIms and stars of the era including Fred Astaire in Second Chorus, Danny Kaye in The lnspector GeneraI, Bing Crosby and Bob Hope in Road to Bali, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis in At War with the Army, and Judy Garland in TiII the CIouds RolI By. |
