Note:This documentary juxtaposes film clips and period music in an eye-opening look at the Great Depression. Many of the movies created in the 1930's featured strong social commentary, while others offered pure escapism and fed a fascination with a dazzling world out of reach to the everyday American. Through a contrast between the fantasy of film and the reality of everyday life, a fascinating perspective on the Great Depression and Hollywood's Golden age is presented.
