I donīt think so, it was about money but also about art. Today the art fade way living only the buisness left.
Just tell me where are the great directors and actors today. Of course we have some, but they all took some refuge in the independant niche.
The films you are speaking of were pure industry, like " Casablanca " but they still had an intreseque quality you will rarely find today. Where are the Fordīs, the Lubitschīs, the Wilderīs, the Hustonīs, the Chaplinīs, the the the....
All this films of the 30s and 40īs that still have no one wrinkle.
There were legions then, now they are rareties.

Just tell me where are the great directors and actors todayThe Coens, PT Anderson, Eastwood, Soderbergh, Mendes, Coppola, Spacey, Chris Cooper, Del Toro, Thornton, Law . . . I could go on . . . It's a different world today and acting and film has changed. I honestly question whether those directors of the 30s thru the 60s could compete today and vice versa.
Casablanca was a fluke. There were dozens of films similar to it with different casts and directors that stank and disappeared without a trace by 1950. That Casablanca worked was due to the right director, actors, cinematographer and script all being called onto the same project at the same time. It, like the best films of the time, were good only by kismet.
You continue to live in the past.
It is not a question of past or present. It is a question of quality.
Movies is just one part of the game as is music or books, or food & wine.
