The studio system was a means of film production and distribution dominant in Hollywood from the early 1920s through the early 1960s. The period stretching from the introduction of sound to the court ruling and the beginning of the studio breakups, 1927/29–1948/49, is commonly known as the Golden Age of Hollywood.
In 1954, the last of the operational links between a major production studio and theater chain was broken and the era of the studio system was officially over.
bring it back. now.
Bringing back the old studio system will not bring back the quality and kind of films the system produced. We can never go back to that. Of course, I still yearn for those kinds of films, but they aren’t coming back. And, besides that, the studio system was pretty grueling for all concerned. Let’s cherish what we’ve got and study it and love it and preserve it as much as we can.

"Speechless"
“How a black-and-white silent French film, set in Hollywood in 1927, became the talk of the town.”
The guy I’m seeing right now posted a link to this film, The Artist, on my Facebook wall a couple of weeks ago (yes, a good sign), and I’ve grown increasingly excited for its US release. The independent movie theatre about 45 minutes from me will begin showing it on Christmas Day. Can’t. Wait.

“It took science, faith, and a bit of magic (oh, and 10 years and a million bucks) to bring a lost version of a pioneering silent film classic back to colorful life. Here’s how it happened.”

Musicals are often dismissed as shallow. Not so, argues David Benedict. A new retrospective rightly puts this joyful genre back in the spotlight
