Description

¿Hoping to follow his Laurel and Hardy success with a female comedy team, producer Hal Roach paired Thelma Todd with ZaSu Pitts in a 1931 series of two-reel shorts. Pitts left the studio for other pursuits, was replaced by Patsy Kelly and the series continued to be successful. Todd died under mysterious circumstances in 1935 and Kelly tried to carry on, first with Pert Kelton, then with Lyda Roberti. When Roberti died in 1938, the series ended. This book takes the first film-by-film look at each of the comedies these women made, how they responded to different directors and how production adapted to changes along the way. Credits, production information, period reviews, and critical assessments are included.

Ein wunderbares Buch! Wer wie ich bisher glaubte, mit klassischer Musik nichts am Hut zu haben, der ist hier genau richtig! Vollkommen unprätentiös stellt uns die Autorin an jedem Tag des Jahres eine kleine musikalische Kostbarkeit vor. So wird klassische Musik zum Genuss, egal, ob Sie sonst Beyoncé oder David Bowie hören! Also; Streaming-Dienst einschalten und los!
