- Summary:
- "Despite the international success of such acclaimed British comedians as Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel, Britain's indigenous early film comedy has long been ignored and undervalued. A huge volume of material, which has been lying untouched in archives for decades, is now begging to be examined and understood." "This new study presents an initial overview of personalities, titles and contexts, as well as fascinating assessments across the first three decades of British film comedy."--Jacket.
