Classical Hollywood cinema

Film classic Gone with the Wind (1939) starring Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh

In film criticism, Classical Hollywood cinema is both a narrative and visual style of filmmaking that first developed in the 1910s to 1920s during the later years of the silent film era. It then became characteristic of United States cinema during the Golden Age of Hollywood from about 1927, with the advent of sound film,[1][2] until the arrival of New Hollywood productions in the 1960s. It eventually became the most powerful and persuasive style of filmmaking worldwide.[3]

Similar or associated terms include classical Hollywood narrative, the Golden Age of Hollywood, Old Hollywood, and classical continuity.[4] The period is also referred to as the studio era, which may also include films of the late silent era.[1]
