What movies were popular in the 1930s?

The 1930s were the "Golden Age" of Hollywood! While the country was struggling its way back up from The Great Depression, Hollywood was making movies the country could escape into... if only for an hour or so.The standard films were "talkies" with new faces and more vibrant characters, as silent films started fading out in the 1920s. If you think of a famous black and white film, it was probably from that time period. Technicolor was introduced in 1932, so the movies with the bigger budgets were able to be in color.Musicals were big. Vaudeville actors and actresses found their way to screen. Movies often came with shorts before the movie such as the "Baby Burlesques" that Shirley Temple appeared in before she was famous.Here are some of the ultra famous films: Gone with the Wind, Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (the firstfeature-length animated film) and The Grapes of Wrath.Some films that were popular then but aren't as known now: Hell's Angels, Stagecoach, Tarzan the Ape Man, Boys Town and Captains Courageous.Look for films from little Shirley Temple, W.C. Fields, Bob Hope, Bette Davis, Greta Garbo, Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Errol Flynn, and my all time favourite: The Marx Brothers!

She did not appear in either the original Our Gang / Little Rascals films nor the 1994 film version.

As a young girl star, Shirley was praised by President Roosevelt, and got to meet Eleanor Roosevelt. She was appointed by President Nixon as an ambassador to the U.N., by President Ford as an ambassador to Ghana, by President Carter as protocol officer, and by President H.W. Bush as ambassador to the Czech Republic. After she (very wisely, IMHO) retired from films, Ms. Temple became involved in politics.
