The World of Comedy: Five Takes on Funny
The World of Five Takes on Funny is the perfect guide and handbook for the student of film comedy. This book contains five chapters full of photos, examples, and analysis of five genres of personality comedian (the clown), dark comedy, populism, screwball comedy and parody. From Charlie Chaplin to Eddie Murphy, Wes Gehring identifies why nothing says funny faster than the film vehicle built around a specific entertainer's comedy persona.
