The opening lectures will present a brief background of Hollywood history (studio system, technological developments, etc.), as well as a specific history of the musical genre (Busby Berkeley, Astaire/Rogers, Freed
Unit). The remainder of the course
will examine various approaches to the musical (genre, auteur, etc.); the contributions of individual stars, producers, directors, composers, art directors, with the emphasis on directorial style and the creation of an
"unreal" musical universe and how
audience perception is manipulated to receive such a world.
