Hitchcock and Humor

The author grew tired of misleading throwaway references to the director's "comic relief." This book examines what should be obvious: Hitchcock systematically incorporated assorted types of comedy - black humour, parody, farce/screwball comedy and romantic comedy - in his films to entertain his audience with "comic" thrillers.

Autorul s-a saturat de trimiteri inselatoare si aruncate la „usurarea comica” a regizorului. Aceasta carte examineaza ceea ce ar trebui sa fie evident: Hitchcock a incorporat in mod sistematic diverse tipuri de comedie - umor negru, parodie, comedie farsa / comedie si comedie romantica - in filmele sale pentru a-si distra publicul cu thrillere „comice”.
