Is this sentence correct:

[color=red]1-I’m talking about the ABC studios in their heyday of epic movies.

I suppose it could mean that their heyday was when they were making epic movies.

It could also mean, I suppose, that they had a few heydays and this one was the “epic movie heyday” (as opposed to, for instance, their “western heyday”). But I am not sure one could have more than one “heyday”.

In either case I think “epic movie heyday” would work better.

Gratefully,
Navi.

2

As you suspect, ‘in their heyday of making epic movies’ makes more sense. However, usually ‘in their heyday’ would be enough. After all, what would a movie studio do other than make movies?

3

Thanks a lot Beeesneees.

Does “their heyday of making epic movies” imply that they had other “heydays” as well (eg. heyday of making comedies)?

4

Yes, it does… but the probability is that the writer didn’t intend to convey any such thing.
