100 Movies from 1930 — The Dawn of the Talking Picture Era

Travel back to 1930, one of the most fascinating transition years in Hollywood history, with this huge collection of 100 public domain feature films on one convenient USB drive.

The silent era was rapidly disappearing, sound pictures were taking over theaters, and Hollywood was experimenting with a bold new style of filmmaking. These early talkies capture a period before the strict enforcement of the Production Code, when movies could be surprisingly daring, sophisticated, strange, funny, romantic, and unpredictable.

This collection brings together an assortment of surviving motion pictures from 1930, giving classic-film collectors an opportunity to explore much more than the handful of famous titles normally associated with the year.

The collection features a wide variety of genres, including:

• Pre-Code Drama

Many of these films provide a fascinating look at the changing movie industry as studios, directors, actors, and technicians learned how to adapt filmmaking to synchronized sound.

A Snapshot of Hollywood in 1930

1930 movies have a distinctive appearance and atmosphere that collectors immediately recognize.

Sound recording was still relatively new. Cameras were often restricted by early sound equipment, dialogue was becoming increasingly important, Broadway performers were arriving in Hollywood, and studios were searching for new kinds of stars.

The result was a remarkably experimental period of American filmmaking.

You'll find everything from sophisticated drawing-room comedies and backstage musicals to gangsters, detectives, struggling families, adventurous heroes, romantic scandals, and eccentric characters.

This collection is ideal for fans of:

• 1920s & 1930s cinema
