For me the golden age starts sometime in the late 1920's, but there is a very definite year of the end of the golden age. That would be 1953. 1953 was a year of lasts for many things in American pop culture.
It was the last year that the majority of Hollywood films were made in Black and...
Yep Mike Post and Pete Carpenter wrote the second theme for Magnum, the one everybody knows, but not the first theme. Of those I listed, they also wrote The Greatest American Hero.
