Screwball: Hollywood's Madcap Romantic ComediesCrown Publishers, 1989 - 240 "The screwball comedies that flourished in the decade between the onset of the Depression and the end of World War II have left a mark on our memories far greater than could have been expected from their impact at the time. Ed Sikov's account has captured this fascinating period both in terms of its sensuous surface and its provocative subtexts. He has succeeded in bringing a scintillating period in our cultural history back to glittering life"--Fly leaf of book jacket, from the foreword by Molly Haskell. |
