Overview

This illustrated overview presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of Screwball Comedy and Film Noir, two popular Hollywood genres that emerged at nearly the same time. Despite their contrast in tone and theme, Screwball and Noir have many narrative elements in common. The author defines the two, discussing their historical development and related conventions and offering detailed analyses of a number of films, among them The Lady Eve and His Girl Friday on the Screwball side, and Gilda and Sunset Blvd. on the Noir side.
