All of this using fast and witty dialogue as well as slap stick elements.<\/strong><br><br>The genre developed with the Great Depression was not only designed to make audiences laugh but also to deal with social problems and sexual desires in a puritan country constrained by poverty and censorship. Frank Capra\u2019s <em>It Happened One Night<\/em> (1934) is generally considered to be\u00a0the first of this kind. Other directors famous for their screwball comedies include Billy Wilder, Ernst Lubitsch, Howard Hawks, George Cukor, William Wyler, Leo McCarey, Preston Sturges, George Stevens and Gregory La Cava.The trend kept going until the early 40s. Major titles include <em>My Man Godfrey, It Happened One Night, The Lady Eve, Bringing up Baby, I Was A Male Ware Bride<\/em> and <em>Some Like It Hot<\/em>. The screwball comedies portrayed women, played by actresses such as Carol Lombard, Claudette Colbert, Katharine Hepburn, Barbara\u00a0Stanwyck, Ginger Rogers and Irene Dunne, who were much more independent and intent on pursuing their own careers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top\" style=\"flex-basis:34%\">\n<p>Directors: <strong>Clara Kuperberg &amp; Julia&nbsp;Kuperberg<\/strong><br>Production: <strong>Wichita Films<\/strong><br>Producers: <strong>Clara Kuperberg &amp; Julia&nbsp;Kuperberg<\/strong><br>Network: <strong>OCS<\/strong><br>Year : <strong>2015<\/strong><br>Time :<strong> 52 minutes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator grey\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Casting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Molly Haskell<\/strong><br>Film Critic and Film Historian<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Joseph McBride<\/strong><br>Author of&nbsp;<em>Hawks by&nbsp;Hawks<\/em> and Film Historian<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Vivian Sobchack<\/strong><br>Film Historian<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator grey\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The film critic Andrew Sarris\u00a0defined a Screwball Comedy\u00a0as \u201csex comedy without sex\u201d.
