the vision of a huge locomotive racing towards you out of the screen usually produced the effect that both the promoter and the audience desired Indeed, this thrill element continues to be very significant in movies, as is witnessed by the demand for more and more spectacular ‘special effects’ in various science-fiction extravaganzas A Frenchman, Georges Melies, created the first actual story-related movies around 1900 and the first American story film was The Great Train Robbery in 1903 From then until 1914, American and European film-makers were more or less equal, but after the outbreak of the First World War Europeans had other more pressing concerns, and far away in California, near the city of Los Angeles, the film-makers of the New World went ahead on their own, producing first the talkies and then Technicolor Many European countries (including France, Britain, Russia, and Germany) have continued to make films, but they have never really managed to catch up with the lead that Hollywood established during and after the Great War The only nation that can nowadays be said to rival the United States in the volume of films produced, money made and numbers entertained is India, which has an extremely successful home and export business in films;
