I'm in a play set in that era and was wondering if you could help. I've already watched too many black and white films so I was hoping you could give me some made in the last decade but set in the golden era.

L.A. Confidential (1997)
is a great one
and
This Gun for Hire (1942)
is an authentic one from the era
also
Hollywoodland (2006)
is somewhat authentic in style, but not that great
and check out
The Black Dahlia(2006)
this is another one I found but haven't seen. They say its set in the 40s in NYC
The Public Eye (1992)
Hope these help and
"break a leg!"

"Pleasantville" (Tobey McGuire) is set in the 50's, sort of. The plot involves two contemporary teenagers being magically zapped into a 50's soap where the emphasis is on the cliched apple pie image, and how these newcomers disrupt the place. Fantastic film.
What era is your play set in as there is such a huge difference between these decades?
"Far from Heaven" (Julianne Moore) is a pastiche of 50's melodrama (see Robert Sirk) That film's got more colour than you can shake a stick at.

I'm sure there are many, but the one that comes to mind is "The Man In The Plaid Suit" with Steve Martin. GREAT movie!
