In the silent film era, movies were never really silent. In the background of films that made figures like Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton into cultural icons, were the musical giants whose compositions defined the very films that captivated a generation of movie-goers. "Hollywoods Musical Moods" is an intimate conversation with some then-living legends from a bygone golden age of cinema.
