Film studios were transformed into major corporations, hiring a host of craftsmen and technicians including cinematographers, editors, screenwriters, and set designers. The birth of the star system supported the meteoric rise and celebrity status of actors including Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, Joan Crawford, Greta Garbo, and Rudolph Valentino while black performers (relegated to "race films") appeared infrequently in mainstream movies. The classic Hollywood film style was perfected and significant film genres were established: the melodrama, western, historical epic, and romantic comedy, along with slapstick, science fiction, and fantasy. In ten original essays, American Cinema of the 1920's examines the film industry's continued growth and prosperity while focusing on important themes of the era.Screen decades.Motion picturesUnited StatesHistoryMotion picturesUnited StatesPlots, themes, etcperforming arts, film, video, media, media studies, communications, american studies, american culture, american cinema, 1920s, 20s, roaring twenties, film studies, motion picture, film industry, entertainment, hollywood, old hollywood, film studio, cinematographer, editor, screenwriter, set designer, celebrity, charlie chaplin, mary pickford, joan crawford, greta garbo, rudolph valentino, race film, blockbuster, classic hollywood, classic film, melodrama, western, historical epic, romantic comedy, slapstick, science fiction, fantasy.Motion picturesHistory.Motion picturesPlots, themes, etc.791.430973791.43097309042AP 59483rvkAnderson Mark563899Aronson Michael1046633Bean Jennifer M1484095Fischer Lucy790858Higashi Sumiko842997Landy Marcia780811Ross Sara1484096Turim Maureen679534Vacche Angela Dalle1484097Young Gwenda1484098Fischer Lucyedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt.DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910790111603321American Cinema of the 1920's3702629UNINA
