Clicking on the following links or images will take you to the movie collections of the directors covered in this section:
As described on the home page for English Movies, in the 1920s through the mid 1940s the movie industry was dominated by a few big studios in what is known as the Studio Era. This was followed by the Post-Studio Era which started in the 1940s and continued into the 1950s. This section covers the films of many of the well-known directors of these two eras, which I have combined into a period I call ‘Classic Hollywood’.
The incredibly talented and prolific directors of this period collectively produced an extraordinary collection of performances which will endure for a long time to come. The links above (listed in alphabetical order) will take you to the collected works of these film directors. The male stars and female stars from the same period are covered in two companion sections.
