Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Film comedy in the sound era has probably never again scaled the heights it did in the thirties and early forties- the period discussed with knowledge and affection in this masterly new study by Donald W. McCaffrey. There were Laurel and Hardy, the Marx Brothers, W. C. Fields, and Joe E. Brown. The great silent comedians like Chaplin, Keaton, and Lloyd, still featured in well-loved films and sophisticated entertainments like Easy Living and Nothing Sacred, introduced a whole new vein of comedy. What other decade could boast these riches along with such personalities as Mac West, Myrna Loy and William Powell, Clark Gable and Constance Bennett, Shirley Temple, and Mickey Rooney's Andy Hardy? This book, then, is a mine of nostalgia for those who lived through the period, or who have only recently discovered its laughs and chuckles through revivals on television. It was a time when, despite the depression, film-makers knew how to create humor in a staggering variety of ways-via the musicals of Busby Berkeley, the fantasy of The Wizard of Oz, the cartoons of Wait Disney like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, as well as the screwball comedies and the hilarious, side-splitting antics of teams like the Marxes and Stan and Ollie. Some 170 illustrations recapture the pleasure and skill of this period of great talent, and Mr. McCaffrey's work is as readable as it is scholarly, the perfect companion to the comedies themselves. About the Author - Dr. Donald W. McCaffrey, author of Four Great Comedians: Chaplin, Lloyd, Keaton and Langdon, and Focus on Chaplin, is Associate Professor of English at the University of North Dakota. He specializes in cinema and dramatic literature. He received his Ph.D. in 1962 from the University of Iowa, with one of the first intensive analyses of a cinema comedian: an evaluation of three feature films starring Harold Lloyd. McCaffrey has been active in the promotion of film scholarship with the international organization, The Society for Cinema Studies. He has served as secretary and councilman for the group. In 1965 he interviewed Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton to develop several of his major studies. He has created a research method that examines a comic film in detail by studying visual and verbal humor through the use of a motion picture editing viewer and recording equipment. He is the author of a number of articles on silent and sound screen comedy that have been published in Britain and the United States. All orders shipped protected in a box.…
