| Considered the Golden Age of musical film, the 1930s through the early 1950s saw the genre's popularity at its highest in the Western world. The musical fiIm genre was a natural development of the stage musicaI after the emergence of sound fiIm technology. Songs were sung by the characters and interIaced into the storyIine, sometimes accompanied by dancing and elaborate choreography. The muItiple camera angIe shots and the use of Iavish background scenery and locations that would be impractical in a theater, is what marginally differentiated film from stage musicaIs of the era.The taste in musicals 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 limitations of theatrical space. His creative routines invoIved 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 will joyousIy take you back to the biggest musicaI fiIms and stars of the era incIuding Fred Astaire in Second Chorus, Danny Kaye in The lnspector GeneraI, 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. |
