Description

Dr. Mark Schenker returns Fall 2023 for another fascinating and informative conversation on American film history.

Talking About Film focuses on screwball comedies. "Emerging in the 1930s, screwball comedies were a wild new strain of fast-talking farces involving battles of the sexes and a world forever on the brink of chaos" (BFI).
