What is the screwball comedy, what are its tropes and what ideas does it explore, why was it born, and why did it fade away.
An offshoot of the comedy film, and lying somewhere between a rom-com, a farce, and a satire, is the screwball comedy. The genres classical period is loosely agreed to have spanned from 1934 starting “with it happened one night” . We will be looking at the origin of the screwball comedy. What are it's social and economic origins?
Thanks for watching One Hundred Years of Cinema, I will be writing a video essay about at least one film each year from 1915 onward to track the evolution of film over the last century. Please subscribe and share! Thank you!
