About Nostalgia & Eras

The 1960s were a restless, magnificent age for the movies. Hollywood spent lavishly on widescreen spectacles — chariots, sandals and thousands of extras — while a new wave of European directors brought intimacy and ambiguity to the art form. At the same time, glossy spy thrillers and soaring song-and-dance spectaculars packed cinemas from Leicester Square to Los Angeles, making the decade a genuinely golden era on both sides of the Atlantic.
