Description
When the movies learned to talk, a new era of smart, dialogue-driven comedy took over the silver screen. It was here that cinema greats such as Cary Grant, Caroll Lombard, and Katharine Hepburn became timeless superstars. Directors like Ernst Lubitsch (Trouble in Paradise), Howard Hawks (Bringing Up Baby) and Leo McCarey (The Awful Truth) had just the right touch in utilizing the grand talents of the day in high-level depression-era escapism. In this session, we will discuss what made the “screwball comedy” era so vital and so unique, enjoying film highlights along the way. Join us for some of the finest rapid-fire zingers and funniest culture clashes ever committed to film!
