Challenging the received wisdom that sound destroyed the slapstick tradition, author Rob King explores the slapstick short's Depression-era development against a backdrop of changes in film industry practice, comedic tastes, and moviegoing culture. Each chapter is grounded in case studies of comedians and comic teams, including the Three Stooges, Laurel and Hardy, and Robert Benchley. The book also examines how the past legacy of silent-era slapstick was subsequently reimagined as part of a nostalgic mythology of Hollywood's youth"--Provided by publisher. 606 $aComedy films$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aComedy films$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aComedy films$xHistory 615 0$aComedy films$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a791.43/6170973 700 $aKing$b Rob$f1975-$0937428 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910213849403321 996 $aHokum$92264642 997 $aUNINA
