The schism occurred as the old directors and stars of the thirties and forties died out. They were replaced by a very nihilistic breed. Frank Capra was forced out of Hollywood, for example. I think 1969 was the break over year. Midnight Cowboy won the best picture Oscar that year.

Who? the 70s produced The Godfather, Taxi Driver, Close Encounters. Capra had completely lost his touch by the end of his career.
