Forties Film Funnymen: The Decade's Great Comedians at Work in the Shadow of War
ISBN: 9780786442577 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The twelve classic comedy films examined within these pages are distinguished by an equal number of defining comic performances. Ranging from The Great Dictator (1940) to A Southern Yankee (1948), each film focuses on the most central theme of "clown comedy" Resilience, the encouragement or hope that one can survive the most daunting of life's dilemmas--even during the war-torn 1940s. And each film can be regarded as a microcosm of the antiheroic world of its central clown (or clowns). Among the performers represented are Charlie Chaplin, W.C. Fields, Abbott and Costello, Jack...

Joe E. Brown: Film Comedian and Baseball Buffoon
ISBN: 9780786425891 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. As a young boy in the depths of the 1890s depression, Joe E. Brown had a job: making faces at the firemen on passing coal-burning trains so they would throw coal at him. As a child he also worked as a circus acrobat and newsboy. His inventiveness and spunk helped his family get through hard times but also fueled his fascination with entertainment, and he built up a repertoire of rubber-faced expressions and funny antics that would make his stage and screen work memorable. Baseball was a favorite pursuit in his life and thus a recurring theme in his films and skits. In this biography--the...

Movie Comedians of the 1950s: Defining a New Era of Big Screen Comedy
ISBN: 9780786499960 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The 1950s were a transitional period for film comedians. The artistic suppression of the McCarthy era and the advent of television often resulted in a dumbing down of motion pictures. Cartoonist-turned-director Frank Tashlin contributed a funny but cartoonish effect through his work with comedians like Jerry Lewis and Bob Hope. A new vanguard of comedians appeared without stock comic garb or make-up--fresh faces not easily pigeonholed as merely comedians, such as Tony Randall, Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis. Some traditional comedians, like Charlie Chaplin, Red Skelton and Danny Kaye, continued...

Chaplin's War Trilogy: An Evolving Lens in Three Dark Comedies, 1918-1947
ISBN: 9780786474653 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The book examines Chaplin's evolving perspective on dark comedy in his three war films, Shoulder Arms (1918), The Great Dictator(1940), and Monsieur Verdoux (1947). In the first he uses the genre in a groundbreaking manner but yet for a pro-war cause. In Dictator dark comedy is applied in an antiwar way. In Verdoux he actually embraces the genre as an individual in defense against a society that's out to destroy him. All three are pivotal films in the development of the genre in film, with the latter two movies being very controversial for their time.

Groucho and W. C. Fields: Huckster Comedians
ISBN: 9781934110959 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Before Groucho Marx and W. C. Fields American comedy was innocent. After they left their hilarious smudges on the genre, comedy was anything but.
Here in a captivating book comparing and contrasting these two premier American comics is the history of how flimflam came to prevail as a major comic form. These two comic geniuses excelled at a new brand of shtick, antiheroic humor that killed off the tame demeanor of their many predecessors in show business. By derailing the comedy oof innocence, Groucho and Fields brought film comedy to its Golden Age.
