From Silver Screen to Spanish Stage
The Humorists of the Madrid Vanguardia and Hollywood Film
Samenvatting
An English-language study of a group of five artists closely linked with the Spanish avant-garde in the 1920s and 1930s, known as the 'Other' Generation of 27. It demonstrates how these humorists drew on the humour of Chaplin, Keaton, Lubitsch and the Marx Brothers for their stage comedy.
