Live Poll: Hollywood's Golden Age Best Line-Up

During Hollywood's Golden Age a small group of big movie studios dominated the industry, controlling every aspect of films, from production to distribution in what it is known as the Studio System.

One of the main characteristics of these years, was that movie stars worked under long-term contracts for a major studio, and most of their projects were choose by them as the studio made them work in the films that worked better for them.

The studio system started to fell apart in 1948 after it was challenged in the Supreme Court to separate production and distribution under antitrust laws.

The wide use of television starting in the 1950's and finally with actors breaking free of long term contracts.

Looking back at those years in film history, which of the 7 major studios in Hollywood's Golden Age had the best line-up of actors working for them?

@dan_dassow​ Thanks Dan.

I made all changes except for "films that were most profitable", as actors could be made to play roles in films that were not necessarily the most profitable and not only stars but also less known actors were under contract.

However I changed the phrasing to "made them work in the films that they considered suited them better."
