Film Clowns of the Depression: Twelve Defining Comic Performances
ISBN: 9780786428922 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The 1930s are routinely considered sound film's greatest comedy era. Though this golden age encompassed various genres of laughter, clown comedy is the most basic type. This work examines the Depression decade's most popular type of comedy--the clown, or personality comedian. Focusing upon the Depression era, the study filters its analysis through twelve memorable pictures. Each merits an individual chapter, in which it is critiqued. The films are deemed microcosmic representatives of the comic world and discussed in this context. While some of the comedians in this text have generated a...

Genre-Busting Dark Comedies of the 1970s: Twelve American Films
ISBN: 9780786495429 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This examination of dark comedies of the 1970s focuses on films which concealed black humor behind a misleading genre label. All That Jazz (1979) is a musical...about death--hardly Fred and Ginger territory. This masking goes beyond misnomer to a breaking of formula that director Robert Altman called "anti-genre." Altman's MASH (1970) ridiculed the military establishment in general--the Vietnam War in particular--under the guise of a standard military service comedy. The picaresque Western Little Big Man (1970) turned the bluecoats vs. Indians formula upside-down--the...

Hitchcock and Humor: Modes of Comedy in Twelve Defining Films
ISBN: 9781476673561 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The author grew tired of misleading throwaway references to the director's "comic relief." This book examines what should be obvious: Hitchcock systematically incorporated assorted types of comedy - black humour, parody, farce/screwball comedy and romantic comedy - in his films to entertain his audience with "comic" thrillers.

Laurel and Hardy: A Bio-Bibliography
ISBN: 9780313251726 / Angielski / Twarda / 1990 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book presents a combined biographical, critical, and bibliographical estimate of Laurel & Hardy's significance in film comedy, the arts in general, and as popular culture icons. Of the two, Laurel decidedly evolves as the central player in this duo biography. The reasons for this are several, but mainly stem from Laurel's role as team spokesman; his late life accessibility; media coverage given to his private life; and the fact that he outlived Hardy by eight years--from 1957 to 1965--a period in which the ever burgeoning public fascination with the team reached new proportions....

Parody as Film Genre: Never Give a Saga an Even Break
ISBN: 9780313261862 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Parody is the least appreciated of all film comedy genres and receives little serious attention, even among film fans. This study elevates parody to mainstream significance. A historical overview places the genre in context, and a number of basic parody components, which better define the genre and celebrate its value, are examined. Parody is differentiated from satire, and the two parody types, traditional and reaffirmation, are explained. Chapters study the most spoofed genre in American parody history, the Western; pantheon members of American Film Comedy such as The Marx Brothers, W....

Populism and the Capra Legacy
ISBN: 9780313261831 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Traditionally identified with screwball comedies, Frank Capra has seldom been considered a conduit for populist concerns and issues. In this book, Gehring examines the influence of both Will Rogers and Frank Capra on modern populist movies, providing important background on Capra's links to the crackerbarrel personality of Rogers. He follows this theme forward, examining the populist roots in such films as The Electric Horseman, Field of Dreams, Dave, Grand Canyon, and others. A final chapter is a close-up of the contemporary, Capra-like director, Ron Howard. The inclusion of a bibliography...

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...
