| Description: |
Focusing on "dark" or black comedy films in the US and the UK, Wheeler Winston Dixon provides a comprehensive overview of a variety of films and filmmakers (Vanishing Point, Marcel Hanoun), whose work has largely been ignored, but whose influence and importance is clearly present. |
| Synopsis: |
Dark Humor in Films of the 1960s present six solid essays on various topics that relate to genre cinema, concentrating on both films and filmmakers whose impacts were made between the 1950s and the 1970s. Covering a range of both little and well-known films and filmmakers (Vanishing Point, Marcel Hanoun, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, Alfred Hitchcock), Dixon's writings draw on a multitude of critical, historical, and archival sources that capture our attention from start to finish. |
