Synopsis
This examination of 1950s film clowns suggests the decade was the 20th century's most volatile for the genre. Besides McCarthyism and TV and their potential for the dumbing down of pictures, this was the first decade when all major screen clowns were not so easily pigeonholed as comedians. This text is a decoder ring to a misunderstood decade., The 1950s were a transitional period for film comedians. The artistic suppression of the McCarthy era and the advent of television often resulted in a dumbing down of motion pictures. Cartoonist-turned-director Frank Tashlin contributed a funny but cartoonish effect through his work with comedians like Jerry Lewis and Bob Hope. A new vanguard of comedians appeared without stock comic garb or make-up--fresh faces not easily pigeonholed as merely comedians, such as Tony Randall, Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis. Some traditional comedians, like Charlie Chaplin, Red Skelton and Danny Kaye, continued their shtick, though with some evident tweaking. This book provides insight into a misunderstood decade of film history with an examination of the "personality comedians." The talents of Dean Martin and Bob Hope are reappraised and the "dumb blonde" stereotype, as applied to Judy Holliday and Marilyn Monroe, is deconstructed., The 1950s were a transitional period for film comedians.

- a***a (45)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Six derniers moisAchat vérifiéHighly recommend seller. My son purchased a rally towel with his own money (bc he absolutely LOVES the NY Rangers) and wanted this to help cheer them on in the playoffs. I personally would not have spent this much on a small cheap towel, but he chose to purchase it with his b-day money, so his choice. We ordered it on Monday and he had it by Thursday. He was super excited. Item arrived just as described & shipping was quick!2024 Rangers Rally Towel NHL Game 1 NEW YORK NY SGA Playoffs Stanley Cup (#266780608392)
