Reviews

"""Gehring remains supreme in film comedy scholarship""--Choice ""Just about anything with film historian and media writer Wes D. Gehring's name on it will be of quality.""--Cinema Retro ""Wes Gehring's Core Comedic Film Genres is a tour de force. Ranging in depth over the subcategories of a mainstream genre, Gehring brings a wealth of research and detailed analysis to this outstanding and model discussion of the varied contexts and formal characteristics of film comedy. The volume includes a most welcome and original survey of the links between print and screen humor. It will appeal to general film-loving readers as well as to scholars and specialists dedicated to film comedy.""--Peter William Evans, emeritus professor of film studies, Queen Mary University of London"
