A sub-genre of the musical is the musical comedy, which includes a strong element of humor as well as the usual music, dancing and storyline.
The musical is the genre associated with the transition from silent film to sound film in the development of the motion picture.
The popularity of movies grew rapidly during the golden days of the silent film era, but the concept of "talking pictures" was considered a risky investment by the major Hollywood studios, until the Warner Brothers studio took the leap and produced "The Jazz Singer", starring Al Jolson.

Home Movies: Season Four represents, sadly, the final episodes of a wonderful animated series, and those 13 shows are indeed a comic triumph.
Home Movies is another well-acted, well-plotted, vibrantly original, viciously funny little gem of a show that was cut down in its prime, a victim of the fickle finger of fate that is modern American media.
Home Movies was a flawless show, like an animated Seinfeld, it focused on some of the absurd aspects of life, but never forgetting a few toilet jokes here and there.

 Salon Entertainment | Home Movies by Charles Taylor: Idyll worship
When a movie creeps past the two-and-a-half hour mark ("Oscar length," as some of my colleagues say), it's usually because the subject is "epic." French director Jacques Rivette makes movies that routinely run to three or four hours or even longer, and yet his subjects are almost always resolutely ordinary.
In one of the scenes that moves me most (for you it may be another), Côte's Ida comes home from work, puts away her groceries, greets her cat and settles down to read a letter from her parents.
The musical numbers in "Haut/bas/fragile" achieve what Woody Allen failed to do in "Everyone Says I Love You." Allen expected us to be charmed by watching actors perform songs and dance numbers without the technique to bring them off.

 Commentaries: Top Ten Movie Musicals - Christianity Today Movies
The music needed to contribute to the flow of the storytelling, not simply serve as the backdrop for lead actors.
In the '40s and early '50s, movie musicals relied heavily on the Hollywood styled song-and-dance numbers that were often a staple of MGM studios.
As movie musicals began to take on weightier themes and stories in the sixties, The Music Man remains one of the final throwbacks to a time when musical theater was simpler and sunnier.

 Titanic & Californian
Early previews of the musical did depict the Titanic firing her rockets, but because the extended scene on deck of the lifeboats being lowered proved to be too cumbersome and unwieldy, it was eliminated quickly in the revisions made prior to opening night.
As no printed script of the musical's dialogue is currently available, what follows is an approximate reconstruction of the important dialogue, based on the author's viewing of the musical on November 29, 1997.
So while the Broadway musical does by necessity exaggerate and invent in order to communicate the vital information to the audience about the Californian, it would not be fair to say that it is a serious exaggeration.

 JR.com: No Direction Home: Bob Dylan (2005) - DVD in Movies: Musical and Performing Arts:
Spawning both politically charged folk ballads that came to embody the very spirit of the turbulent 1960s ("The Times They are a-Changin") and sprawling, stream-of-consciousness litanies that irrevocably changed the face of rock music ("Like a Rolling Stone"), the years between 1961-1966 were inarguably the most artistically fertile for legendary singer/songwriter Bob Dylan.
Part of PBS's AMERICAN MASTERS series, the film is the first ever film biography of the enigmatic, near-reclusive Dylan, who grants Scorsese his first full-length interview in 20 years for a startlingly intimate and endlessly revealing portrait of a true American icon.

Offended when the Mertzes express boredom while watching his home movies, Ricky (Desi Arnaz) huffily declares that he'll never force them to watch anything of his again -- not even the TV pilot he is going to star in.
Teaming up with Lucy (Lucille Ball), Ethel (Vivian Vance) and Fred (William Frawley) decide to prove to Ricky that it is indeed possible to make an entertaining home movie...though the results, an epic "Western musical drama," are hardly up to Academy Award standards.
Unfortunately, this amateur production is spliced into Ricky's pilot film, just as TV producer Bennett Green (Stanley Farrar) shows up to assess Ricky's potential as a video star.
