插图：The rise of European cinema was interrupted by the outbreak of World War I when the film industry in the United States flourished with the rise ofHollywood, along with the contributions of Charles Chaplin, and others,quickly caught up with American film-making and continued to further ad-vance the medium. In the 1920s, new technology allowed filmmakers to at-tach to each film a soundtrack of speech, music and sound effects synchro-nized with the action on the screen. These sound films were initially distin-guished by calling them talking pictures, or talkies.The next major step in the development of cinema was the introductionof so-called natural color. While the addition of sound quickly eclipsed si-lent film and theater musicians, color was adopted more gradually as meth-ods evolved making it more practical and cost effective to produce naturalcolor films. The public was relatively indifferent to color photography as op-posed to black-and-white, but as color processes improved and became asaffordable as black-and-white film, more and more movies were filmed incolor after the end of World War II, as the industry in America came toview color as essential to attracting audiences in its competition with televi-sion, which remained a black-and-white medium until the mid-1960s. Bythe end of the 1960s, color had become the norm for film makers.
