The Golden Age of Hollywood from 1927-1948 saw the rise of the studio system and major film genres like musicals and film noir. The Big Five studios - Paramount, MGM, Warner Bros., 20th Century Fox, and RKO - dominated Hollywood and produced classic films. Some of the most popular movies of this era included The Jazz Singer (1927), the first talking picture; Gone with the Wind (1939); The Wizard of Oz (1939); and Citizen Kane (1941). The Golden Age ended with the decline of the studio system in the late 1940s due to antitrust action and the rise of television.
