Summary:

This book examines responses in print and on stage of five Spanish humorists to Hollywood cinema from the 1920's to the 1960's. After detailing their viewing habits and film-making experiences in the USA and Spain, I devise and apply a method for the analysis of the influence of screen on stage that draws on the disciplines of film and theatre studies. I argue that these experiments, had they not been curtailed by the culture of Francoism, might have developed into a significant contribution to European theatre.
