This is an overview of one of the most popular film genres: the screwball comedy. Critically acclaimed and loved by audiences, the screwball comedy had its heyday in the middle of the 20th century. This book covers the great directors of screwball comedy (Frank Capra, Howard Hawks, George Cukor, Ernst Lubitsch, and others), the great examples of the genre ('It Happened One Night', 'Bringing Up Baby', 'The Philadelphia Story', 'The Awful Truth', and more), and the great actors and actresses that brought the genre to life (William Powell, Myrna Loy, Cary Grant, Irene Dunne, Katherine Hepburn, Jimmy Stewart, Jean Harlow, Clark Gable, and more).
