This article deals with the notion of nostalgia, especially nostalgia appearing in the film medium, and more specifically in the American film musical. After tracing the birth of the concept of nostalgia, recalled here are the characteristics of nostalgia, which in a film musical are associated with the fashion for retro, evoking the old times, associated with a better life, prosperity, compared to contemporary times. Traces of nostalgia in the film musical can be seen especially in films from the Great Depression period, but the current fashion for nostalgia is strongly manifested for example in La La Land, the most successful musical of past years, which marked the genres renaissance.
