The article is devoted to the popular dramatic situations the psychological history of American pre-war cinema is based on. Alongside with the analysis of the America's fifty top-grossing films of the 1930s the author investigates the popular plots and character types. This survey is probably the first case of employing the frequency analysis method in cinema studies.
