Description
The 1930s was one of the most formative decades in Hollywood's history, from the stilted, early talkies to the hallmark year of 1939 that saw films such as Gone with the Wind and The Wizard of Oz released. This collection of 19 essays by a selection of the best classic film bloggers currently writing, members of the Classic Movie Blog Association (CMBA), covers mainstream hits like Sons of the Desert (1933) and Bringing Up Baby (1938), cult classics like Freaks (1932) and The Bride of Frankenstein (1935), and even far more obscure titles like Men Call It Love (1931) and Idiot's Delight (1939).
These essays-- some playful, some extraordinarily informative, and others a mix of the two-- help profile the decade that changed Hollywood in the public's eye from a den of vice and sin to a veritable dream factory, picture by picture.
