DIRECTOR 'S CORNER u Melodromo" is o term first coined in 1780 to describe a dramatic technique whi ch u sed music to express o character's emotions while he was si len t. Since that time ·-melodrama,. hos evolved into on abusive term synonymous for exaggerated emotionol is m,shollow charoctcrizotion, cheap spectacle, empty plots filled wi th action, and o general lock of soph is tica tio n. The charges ore well grounded in the melodromos of the nineteenth century and ore equa l ly well grounded in the films and television shows of today.

In the 19th and ear ly 20th centuries melodrama dominated the stages Qf Europe ond America.

It was intended to appeal to the moss aud i ence who sought nothing more than on evening of pure and si mple en tertainment. As medlo were introduced that reached even larger audiences, melodrama found new homes in the film and tela-vision, Unwi ll ing to appear unsophisticated we d isguise our modern melodromo in o variety of terms, but the combination of action, spectacle, emotion, intellectual simplicity, and simple d i,ect cho,octers is still on effective combinat ion. The popularity of .. Star Wars," "Love Story, " " The Si:x Mi ll ion Dolla r Mon," Jows," " As the World Turns, " and li tera lly hundreds of o th er fi lms and television shows testify to th e undyi ng appeo l of m?lodroma to the mass audience.
