- More about Hitchcock and Humor: Modes of Comedy in Twelve Defining Films
Woody Allen's Manhattan Murder Mystery is a Rear Window for retirees, and Alfred Hitchcock's use of comedy in his films is past due. This book examines Hitchcock's systematic incorporation of comedy types to entertain his audience with comic thrillers.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 241 pages
Publication date: 30 April 2019
Publisher: McFarland & Co Inc
Woody Allen's "Manhattan Murder Mystery" has been likened to "Rear Window" for retirees, highlighting the need for a comprehensive analysis of Alfred Hitchcock's use of comedy in his films. As a scholar for Turner Classic Movies' online Hitchcock class during the summer of 2017, the author became frustrated with the misleading and superficial references to the director's comic relief. This book aims to address this gap by delving into the various types of comedy Hitchcock employed in his films, including black humor, parody, farce/screwball comedy, and romantic comedy, to create entertaining comic thrillers.
