The Jewish Godfathers of the Movie Musicals: Romberg, Kern, Gershwin, and Rodgers and Hart
BEFORE CAMELOT—Jews and the Musicals of the 1950s
The 1950s was a time of challenges for the American film industry. The musical helped save the industry, and many Jews were part of the creation of these wonderful films.
This course will investigate the great movie musical of the 1950s created by Jewish composers, lyrists, directors, and producers. Using film clips and discussions, the legacy of these great American movies will be explored.

- Class One (1/22): The Jewish Godfathers of the Movie Musicals: Romberg, Kern, Gershwin, and Rodgers and Hart
- Class Two (2/19): The Jewish Masters of the Movie Musicals: Rodgers and Hammerstein, Lerner and Loewe, Frank Loesser, Comden and Green, and Adler and Ross
