Ten Classic Comedy Films, Part 4   

This course will show 10 classic comedy films, starting with a silent film, “The Gold Rush,” with Charlie Chaplin (1925), and concluding with “A Fish Called Wanda,” with John Cleese and Jamie Lee Curtis (1988). The other eight are “Dinner at Eight,” “The Awful Truth,” “Buck Privates,” “Kind Hearts and Coronets,” “No Time for Sergeants,” “The Graduate,” “Blazing Saddles,” and “Breaking Away.” A handout for each film will be made available the week before the showing of the film, except for the first film, for which the handout will be made available on the first day. The instructor will mention anything special to be noticed about each film just before it is shown, and students may offer comments or questions at that time. A guided discussion will follow after the end of the film. Students need bring nothing more than a desire to see these special comedy films that are true classics and still enjoyable no matter how many times one views them.
