[bomp] the thirties were a hard one to deal with?
And the 70s had VERY strong 50s nostalgia. The 40s
nostalgia was
more in the early part of that decade.
Just saw CABARET a few months ago, and there was some looking back at the
'30s during the '70s... especially when you add the Marx Brothers into the mix,
who did cut their first movie in the late '20s, though. They saw a huge
revival during the '70s. CITIZEN KANE also had its reputation boosted a lot during
the '70s... not sure what year that film was from off hand... wasn't it 1939?
Today, of course, everyone talks about "Pre-Code" movies. THE SOPRANOS also
did that whole great episode about PUBLIC ENEMY #1 being Tony's preference to
the kids studying '50s exploitation films in college... That was a pretty
twisted episode.
