Hollywood and the Importance of Musicals
As America struggled with ways to cope with the Depression, Hollywood's answer was lively, vibrant musicals which distracted from the dark times as they emerged as an enduring art form. Movies starring Astaire and Rogers - Top Hat as well as Disney productions - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and the first "talkie" The Jazz Singer kept moviegoers entertained. Later, more sophisticated musicals such as Singing in the Rain, West Side Story, Gigi and An American in Paris were Oscar winners. Speaker: Shelly Kaufman
