From mickey-moused accompaniments to slapstick scenes, ironic musical statements, clever musical allusions and jokes, well-worn sound-effects, and even laugh tracks, sound has been integral to the development of the comedy on screen. This volume covers all aspects of sound (including dialogue) and music as they have been utilised in comedy film. The volume looks at various subsets of the ‘comedy film’ from the post-War period, including black comedy, romantic comedy, slapstick, dialogue comedy, parody and spoofs. This volume aims to explore the way in which music and sound articulate humour, create comedic situations and direct comedic identifications for viewer/listeners.January 25, 2016268 p.ill. 51 figures234 x 156mmFilms, cinema (APF); Film: styles & genres (APFN)popular music; film musicfilm; cinema; comedy; humour; humor; sound; music; black comedy; romantic comedy; slapstick; dialogue comedy; parody; spoofshttp://www.equinoxpub.com/home/sounding-funny/
