The Golden Age of Cinema

The Golden Age of Cinema, roughly from the 1910s to the 1960s, was a period when Hollywood produced many classic films and established the star system and studio dominance. During this time, the studio system controlled production, and iconic actors like Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn became household names. Technological advances improved sound and color, making films more engaging. The era also saw the rise of genres like musicals, film noir, and epic dramas. This period profoundly influenced filmmaking, set industry standards, and created lasting cultural icons that continue to resonate today.
