One of my favorite things about classic movies is how they combined performers with very different backgrounds and talents to create unique casts and thus fascinating movies. Besides the actors themselves, musical styles were often just as eclectic, with scores of Golden Era musicals, including opera arias and instrumental classical music, alongside jazz tunes and original musical numbers. Somehow, it all came together to create entertaining, inventive films, which are so different from today’s movies.
