Pursuits of Happiness: The Hollywood Comedy of Remarriage - Paperback

by Stanley Cavell (Author)
During the '30s and '40s, Hollywood produced a genre of madcap comedies that emphasized reuniting the central couple after divorce or separation. Their female protagonists were strong, independent, and sophisticated. Here, Stanley Cavell names this new genre of American film--"the comedy of remarriage"--and examines seven classic movies for their cinematic techniques and for such varied themes as feminism, liberty, and interdependence.
Included are Adam's Rib, The Awful Truth, Bringing Up Baby, His Girl Friday, It Happened One Night, The Lady Eve, and The Philadelphia Story.Back Jacket
Each of the seven chapters that follow contains an account of my experience of a film made in Hollywood between 1934 and 1949.
