)100 years ago, in 1923, a sign was erected above Los Angeles and its fledgling movie industry. It read: “Hollywoodland”.
It’s now 2023 and a lot has changed – not to mention the last four letters have been lost from the sign – but Hollywood and its movies have always dominated the movie industry.
Today, join Dan Golding as he looks at the history of the Hollywood sign, and plays music from the best Golden Age soundtracks, including Casablanca, It’s a Wonderful Life, and The Adventures of Robin Hood.
