Presentation Transcript

  1. Film Club Screwball comedy and the feminine mystique film series Our host, Steve Reginald, will introduce each film in the series, giving background information before each screening, with discussion afterward. Reginald is a freelance writer/editor and popular instructor at Facets Film School in Chicago. He was also the original host of Meet Me at the Movies. The screwball comedy took shape in the early 1930s after the Production Code was introduced. The new censorship that Hollywood imposed on itself created a new type of comedy filled with sharp, rapid-fire dialogue delivered by “fast-talking dames” as described by film historian Marie DiBattista. Audiences were delighted by these smart wise-cracking women portrayed on screen by icons of the genre like Irene Dunne, Barbara Stanwyck and Carole Lombard.
