Movies from the 1940s are considered to be the Golden Age of Hollywood. This period is marked by a distinct set of characteristics that were never replicated in any other time or place: pure and innocent, yet highly sophisticated and polished stories; old-fashioned and wholesome, but still relevant; light-hearted and pleasant, yet deeply dramatic.
The 1940s were a time of great change. This decade was primarily defined by the Second World War, which would end up being the largest sustained war in history to date. The war would cause major changes to take place in many different areas, including economics, politics, and culture. The movies of the time reflected this.
