The Hollywood film musical featured, among all kinds of production numbers, some presenting instruments and instrumentalists shown while performing. This became a typical attraction, which this article tackles in a historical and aesthetical perspective. These numbers can be related to Hollywood's position between two other media: the Broadway stage and the radio. The film industry thereby offers an original spectacle while benefiting from the musicians' circulation across media spaces. Aesthetically, the numbers are directed and edited following recurring principles, on the one side imitations of other iconographic traditions and on the other side the design of a of visual musicality. Common forms can be identified beyond the musical styles involved in those numbers (jazz, swing, latin or classical music). Numbers with instruments thus appear as an important part of the Hollywood cultural syncretism.

In film, the ocean serves as a very rich backdrop against which individual lives and collective stories are projected. Many movies have portrayed Jewish characters, whose lives have been associated, in one way or another, with the sea. In documentaries and fiction films, the history of Jewish people has been recorded : Hasty departures and arrivais, overcoming natural obstacles in order to reach a promised land, be it real or mythical, sea crossings, pervade those films. From « biblical » movies to films portraying modem Jewish heroes, the sea embodies the various voyages that Jews have had to undertake, their resilience, their fears and their hopes.
