Ziegfeld Follies 1945

All 180 musicals that were voted on for AFI's top 25 musials of the first 100 year of film

From the coming of sound to the 1960s, the musical was central to Hollywood production. Exhibiting – often in spectacular fashion – the remarkable resources of the Hollywood studios, musicals came to epitomise the very idea of 'light entertainment'. Films like Top Hat and 42nd Street, Meet Me in St. Louis and On the Town, Singin' in the Rain and Oklahoma!, West Side Story and The Sound of Music were hugely popular, yet were commonly regarded by cultural commentators as trivial and escapist. It was the 1970s before serious study of the Hollywood musical began to change critical attitudes and foster an interest in musical films produced in other cultures. Hollywood musicals have become less common, but the genre persists and both academic interest in and fond nostalgia for the musical shows no signs of abating.

100 Film Musicals provides a stimulating overview of the genre's development, its major themes and the critical debates it has provoked. While centred on the dominant Hollywood tradition, 100 Film Musicals includes films from countries that often tried to emulate the Hollywood style, like Britain and Germany, as well as from very different cultures like India, Egypt and Japan. Jim Hillier and Douglas Pye also discuss post-1960s films from many different sources which adapt and reflect on the conventions of the genre, including recent examples such as Moulin Rouge! and High School Musical, demonstrating that the genre is still very much alive.

In French - as this is a French Festival.
La Palme d'or est la récompense suprême décernée par le jury officiel du Festival de Cannes. Elle est accordée au meilleur film de la sélection officielle, élu parmi ceux en compétition.

De 1946 à 1954, la Palme d’or n’ayant pas encore été créée, le Jury décernait le "Grand Prix du Festival International du Film".
De 1951 à 1954, le Grand Prix est remis sous la forme d'un diplôme accompagné d'une œuvre d'art signée d'un artiste en vogue.
La Palme d’or est créée en 1954 à l’initiative de Robert Favre Le Bret. Elle est décernée pour la première fois en 1955.
De 1964 à 1974 le Festival de Cannes décide de revenir à la remise d’un Grand Prix International en lieu et place de la Palme d’or.
En 1975, la Palme d’or est réhabilitée.

Elle demeure jusqu’à aujourd’hui le prix le plus prestigieux du Palmarès, considéré comme l'une des distinctions cinématographiques les plus importantes à l’international.
