The year 1939 in motion pictures is widely considered the most outstanding one ever, when it comes to the high quality and high attendance at the large set of the best films that premiered in the year (considered as a percentage of the population in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom at that time). == Events == * Motion picture and film historians often rate 1939 as "the greatest year in the history of Hollywood." Hollywood movies produced in Southern California are at the height of their Golden Age (in spite of many cheaply made or indistinguished films also being produced, something to be expected with any year in commercial cinema), and during 1939 there are the premieres of an outstandingly large number of exceptional motion pictures, many of which become honored as all-time classic films. * * August 15 – ''The Wizard of Oz'' premiered at Grauman's Chinese Theater in Los Angeles. * * October 17 – ''Mr. Smith Goes to Washington'' premiered in Washington, D.C. * * December 15 – ''Gone with the Wind'' premiered in Atlanta, Georgia, with a three-day-long festival. * March 31 – Release of the 20th Century Fox film version of ''The Hound of the Baskervilles'', first of a Sherlock Holmes film series starring Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson. * Canada establishes a National Film Commission, predecessor of the National Film Board of Canada, with John Grierson as first Commissioner. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1939 in film」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
