Screwball Women:
Comediennes in Classical Hollywood
The
contribution of directors such as Capra
and Cukor
to Hollywood comedy is
undisputed, but their leading ladies deserve more
attention. This BFI Southbank season features some of
the most brilliant comediennes ever to light up the
screen, including the ever sophisticated
Claudette
Colbert,
smouldering Carole
Lombard and the
‘glacial goddess’, Katharine
Hepburn.
