Synopsis
Romantic Comedy offers an introduction to the analysis of a popular but overlooked film genre. The book provides an overview of Hollywood's romantic comedy conventions, examining iconography, narrative patterns, and ideology. Chapters discuss important subgroupings within the genre: screwball sex comedy and the radical romantic comedy of the 1970s. A final chapter traces the lasting influence of these earlier forms within current romantic comedies. Films include: Pillow Talk (1959), Annie Hall (1977), and You've Got Mail (1998).

Review
This volume crams everything from Doris Day to The 40 Year-Old Virgin into its 117 pages. Each of its five broad catagories is examined over the lifespan of the genre and includes valuable case studies. Highly recommended. (Empire)
A very worthwhile addition to the media library. (MEA Newsletter)
