35、 used to advance the plot or develop the films characters. A sub-genre of the musical is the musical comedy, which includes a strong element of humour as well as the usual music, dancing and storyline. The musical is responsible for the transition from silent film to sound film in the development of

36、 the mo- ti0n picture. The popularity of movies grew rapidly during the golden days of the silent film era, but the concept of “talking pictures“ was considered a risky investment by the msjor Hollywood studies, until the Warner Bros. studio took the leap and produced “The Jazz Singer“, starring Al

Many musical films, e.g. “Oklahoma! and “The Sound of Music“, are straightforward adaptations or restaging of successful stage productions.

42、 Others, e.g. “Moulin Rouge!“, were specifically written for the screen, and some, such as “Singin in the Rain, have made a revere transition from their o- riginal screen version to a successful stage format at a much later date.

43、t to use a lot of background music by popular rock or pop bands in the hopes of selling the soundtrack album to falls. There are exceptions to this rule, and films about actors, dancers or singers have been made as successful modem-style musicals, with the music as, an intrinsic part of the storylin

44、e. The other exception to the rule is childrens animated movies.
