...A major Hollywood genre along with westerns and gangster movies, it is a film that, following the format of stage musicals, focuses on singing and dancing and integrates them with drama. It is also called a "movie musical" or "screen musical," but in general it is often simply called a "musical" without distinguishing it from stage musicals.
[The birth of musical films]
