| EACH DAWN I DIE |
If you had been a movie patron back 73 years ago, you would have been able to experience at your local movie houses what most consider to be "The Golden Year of Hollywood."
That year was 1939.
The number of motion pictures released in that one year was a staggering number compared to the 2012 industry, but even more impressive, is the number of now-classic (by the true definition of the word) films.
Here is a list of 30 of those motion pictures.
They all played Salisbury and Rowan County, most of them numerous times.
