One source of entertained that sprang forward with the New Deal Projects were movies. There were all kinds like: Comedies, musical movies, love stories, and gangster films. It wasn’t long until talking movies were coming out. This made many actors and actresses very popular in Hollywood. Why it was so important for people to go to movies during this time, was so they could just get away from the Depression and the hardships. The families were having a good time during a hard time. Some popular movies back then were: Gone With the Wind, Flying Down to Rio. Also The Wizard of Oz and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs came out showcasing the creations of Walt Disney. This decade was called “The Golden Age for Hollywood.”
I think it was great that families could get away from the rough times they were all having and enjoy time with their family and friends while watching a movie. It was a step up from the radio. Also the films had more people with jobs so it also helps the economy!
