The Golden Age of Hollywood Online

**THIS PROGRAM IS VIRTUAL. PLEASE REGISTER TO RECEIVE THE LINK**

From the late 1920s through the end of World War II, studios like MGM, Warner Bros, 20th Century Fox, Paramount, and RKO would dominate film production in America and throughout the world. The studios became virtual entertainment factories, with each studio producing more than 50 movies a year. The legacy of these years of frenzied activity are among the best-loved, and most significant films, ever made.

Media Scholar Brian Rose will examine the forces that made Hollywood the giant of global film-making and its achievements during its Golden Age, including studio politics and economics, the star system, and the movie-going experience. 

Sponsored by the Friends of the Cos Cob Library.
