18. I know it is said that many of the best Hollywood musicals and comedies were made during the Depress
Depression because it helped people escape from their daily misery for a low cost, and I suppose if we see a rebirth of those genres, that could be an indicator. Obviously, we have always had comedies, but I mean, when every third film is a light, romantic comedy like The Thin Man.
