Studio System actors of yore entertain. Big difference. This is why I have no love for older movies. The performances and scripts are puny by comparison. The pretension of older movies is smothering. Yeah, I like a few but generally skip over the category. Time marches on and things constantly change, thank Heavens, so there is no telling where film, scripts, and actors will be 20 years from now.

That assertion is just not so....there are PLENTY of great actors from the Golden age... - TWB 00:04:19 03/29/20 (0)
of Hollywood... Spencer Tracy, Vivien Leigh, Laurence Olivier, Marlon Brando, Barbara Stanwyck, William Holden, Alex Guiness, Bette Davis, Deborah Kerr and Henry Fonda to name just a few... True many of them were just "personalities" but I hardly think that term would apply to those I mentioned and that is just the short list...
