Peter (both),
The problem with many films of the 30's is that they were still using stage acting techniques. Look at nearly any film from that era and you notice that the line delivery, blocking, movements, etc. are made as if the audience was physically in the studio with the actors.
Since I'm not a "film history expert", I can't say when Hollywood made the transition to more natural acting. I guess the director made a big difference as far as innovation and style were concerned.
VBR,
Mike
