Avant-propos En 1929 l'apparition du parlant est une mutation majeure dont le cinéma américain sort triomphant au moment où le pays s'engouffre dans une brutale crise économique. Les grands studios étendent leur empire sur toute l'activité cinématogra- phique, poursuivant leur intégration verticale et horizontale, affirmant leur style propre à travers leurs acteurs, leurs metteurs en scène, leurs décorateurs et leurs musiciens. La grande dépression est contemporaine d'un véritable âge d'or : plus de cinq cents films sont produits en 1930 malgré l'augmentation des budgets imposée par la technique nouvelle. La société américaine s'interroge sur ses valeurs et trouve dans les salles de cinéma un refuge à la mesure de son désarroi. Le film est plus que jamais le moyen d'oublier et celui de comprendre, car les grands genres n'éludent aucune des questions qui obsèdent tous ceux qui cherchent leur place dans un monde déréglé.
