Too Funny for Words: A Contrarian History of American Screen Comedy from Silent Slapstick to Screwball
David Kalat
From Charlie Chaplin's tramp to the witty repartee of His Girl Friday (1940), this book chronicles the rise of silent comedy and its evolution into screwball - two flavours of the same genre - through the works of Mack Sennett, Roscoe Arbuckle, Harry Langdon and others.
