Golden Age of Hollywood
Classic film period
The Golden Age of Hollywood refers to the period roughly from the late 1920s through the early 1960s when the American film industry dominated global cinema.
Major studios like MGM, Warner Bros., and Paramount controlled production, distribution, and exhibition, creating the star system and producing lavish musicals, noir thrillers, and epic dramas.
The era ended as television rose and antitrust rulings broke studio monopolies: Classic films from Hollywood's Golden Age still influence directors today.
