One of the moist popular genres of films has been sophisticated comedies. Sadly, that genre has become somewhat passe these days, replaced by bawdy comedies aimed at teenagers. This course will revisit six classic sophisticated comedies from the 1940s forward, starring some of the greats of the silver screen under the direction of great Hollywood filmmakers. Students will view the films on their own prior to class and be prepared to discuss in class.
