ROMANTIC COMEDIES

March 2-6, 2014
 

Cinema’s golden age of the romantic comedy began in the early years of the Great Depression, continuing through World War II and into the 1950s. The themes of these films were at once timeless and reflective of the culture from which they emerged.

This fourth and final CCA of the 2013-2014 academic year will consider the history, elements, making, and significance of romantic comedies from the 1930s to the present.
