...to regard the mass market phenomenon as a recent artifact of Hollywood. It really isn't. The handful of Hollywood gems from the past were accumulated over a century of filmmaking. There were thousands of unexceptional B and lower pictures the studios churned out by the hundreds each year using contract actors. Reagan starred opposite a chimp - remember? Is that really so far removed from Dumb and Dumber? Hardly a vision of an idyllic past.
