Explore the enchanting world of Hollywood romantic comedy with this insightful book, perfect for academics and enthusiasts alike. This meticulously researched piece, published by Manchester University Press in 2006, delves into the evolution of couple representations in cinema from 1934 to 1965, addressing themes such as marriage, equality, and desire. Authored by Kathrina Glitre, the book moves past traditional screwball comedy explorations to present a comprehensive analysis of three iconic star couples: Myrna Loy and William Powell, Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, and Doris Day and Rock Hudson.

With detailed examinations of various comedy genres including screwball, career woman, and sex comedies, this book analyzes cultural discourses surrounding heterosexuality, romantic relationships, and gender roles. Glitre's insights on conventions like masquerade, gender inversion, and the universally loved happy ending provide a nuanced perspective that elevates understanding of the Hollywood romantic comedy genre.

This seminal work is an essential read for college students, academic researchers, and anyone passionate about the intersections of gender, culture, and representation in film. Don't miss your chance to enrich your understanding of Hollywood's romantic narratives!

Description:


This book explores the changing representation of the couple, focusing on themes of marriage, equality and desire. Kathrina Glitre moves beyond the usual screwball territory to consider cycles of production from 1934-65. The central concern with the representation of the couple is distinctive and includes discussion of three star couples: Myrna Loy and William Powell, Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, and Doris Day and Rock Hudson.

Glitre offers explanations of genre, as well as detailed analysis of screwball comedy, career woman comedy and sex comedy. Each cycle is placed into context to analyse cultural discourses around heterosexuality, gender, romance and love. This structure also enables a more sophisticated understanding of such conventions as masquerade, gender inversion and the happy ending.

The book will appeal to university students and academics working on genre, gender, culture and representation, and anyone with a keen interest in Hollywood romantic comedy. -- .

Suit looks great for fun formal events
Size: X-Large, Color: Green
The style and fit are great. I did notice a white thread in the shoulder poking out. I used a marker to darken it so it was not noticeable but other than that this suit really looks great. We have a music event in a couple of weeks that I am wearing this to and think it will delight as a sharp but different. I was also happy that it did not require alterations, sleeve length was on spot and everything fit great (XL) also this is a slim fit but I am not that slim and it fit nicely on me. As long as it doesn't disintegrate during the event I will consider this money well spent.
