From the publisher

The twelve classic comedy films examined within these pages are distinguished by an equal number of defining comic performances. Ranging from The Great Dictator (1940) to A Southern Yankee (1948), each film focuses on the most central theme of "clown comedy" Resilience, the encouragement or hope that one can survive the most daunting of life's dilemmas--even during the war-torn 1940s.
