Originally published in 1954, this was the first factual history of comedy films and the men and women who had since 1894 kept us laughing in the cinema. This edition, first published in 1968 has been revised but the period it covers remains the same, 1894-1954, sixty years of film humour.
Reviews for the original 1954 edition:
"Loaded with facts, names, titles, biographies and anecdotes, but trotting along easily enough to make reading comfortable, I can't think of any other book devoted to the cheerful screen which bundles together not only the internationally famous English-speaking comics, but also the great army of good comedians, the multitude of players and the multitude of films too." Dilys Powell wrote in The Sunday Times
"Highly informative and interesting and, for the middle-aged, almost unbearably nostalgic," said the New Statesman
"A little monument to painstaking research made readable by unswerving love," wrote Paul Dehn
"A valuable and fascinating book," said Maryvonne Butcher in The Tablet
