Summary: "John Kobal, the world's foremost film archivist, has amassed an unrivaled photographic treasure of Hollywood glamour portraits. As an author and noted film historian, he has also been a major force behind the tremendous revival of interest in the work of the great studio photographers such as George Hurrell, Ted Allan, Lazlo Willinger, and Clarence Sinclair Bull. The selection of photographs in this book extends from the mid-1930s to the 1950s, the period in which color photography became established in Hollywood, and contains 74 spectacular images of the major stars." -- BOOK JACKET
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 17); Book contains pictures of various Hollywood actors

Summary: "Reading ROMANTIC COMEDY is like going to the movies. It recreates for us movies we've come to love: movies the way they were when, in 1934, four in particular - IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT, TWENTIETH CENTURE, THE THIN MAN, and THE GAY DIVORCEE - heralded the arrival of the golden age of Hollywood romantic ("screwball") comedy. Over the next ten years, some of Hollywood's brightest directors and stars turned out some of America's most enduring and beloved films. The screwballs - slangy, irreverent, playful, skeptical, and "powerfully, glamorously in love with love" - constitute a genre of American film unique in its combination of the innocent and the worldly, of swank and slapstick. Now critic James Harvey - writing with brilliance and humor - gives us the first truly comprehensive book about these movies and the people who made them." [Taken from book jacket]
