The Golden Age of Hollywood saw some of the most iconic films ever produced, from (1939) to (1941). Between 1930 and 1945, Tinseltown was dominated by a method of production known as the ‘Studio System’, which saw even distribution and screening of films under the control of major studios such as 20th Century Fox and Warner Brothers. During this period directors, writers, set designers and even stars were all under contract to specific studios. Each studio owned vast areas of land used for production, from huge backlots to gigantic soundstages.
