People did watch films back then to forget their troubles of the depression and then of the war, but there really was more romance than today. And statistics will show that more people got married and stayed married than today. My grandparents, and many other people I'd known from older generations got married and stayed with their partners. I'm sure not everyone did, but they did more than today.
Yes, but rather than getting divorced these marriages lapsed into sexless brother-sister relationships. Alcoholism resulted. It just fueled the cycle of misery.
Normal to love old black and white films?
