A 3 page research paper that discusses this film genre. During the 1930s, “screwball” was a popular slang term for anything that was perceived as “unbalanced, erratic, irrational (or) unconventional” (“Screwball comedy”). This term was used to describe the a particular kind of baseball pitch, which has a spin that makes the ball have an unexpected drop, and it was also widely applied to a delightful romantic comedy film genre. This examination, first of all, examines the characteristics of this film genre and then discusses them in relationship to two films from the 30s: “His Girl Friday” (1940) and “My Man Godfrey” (1936). Bibliography lists 2 sources.
