Movie Comedians of the 1950s: Defining a New Era of Big Screen Comedy
Wes D. Gehring
This examination of 1950s film clowns suggests the decade was the 20th century's most volatile for the genre. Besides McCarthyism and TV and their potential for the dumbing down of pictures, this was the first decade when all major screen clowns were not so easily pigeonholed as comedians. This text is a decoder ring to a misunderstood decade.
