Question: does Some Like It Hot count? How about most of Lubitsch? If so, I'd add that to the list, but Lubitsch in particular doesn't seem very screwball-y to me. I guess that's the built-in problem of genre definitions. Hmm... On that note, does The Thin Man even count? The screwball comedy aspects matter far more than the whodunit plot, but it is officially a whodunit, not a comedy, so... Oh, well. I would think Some Like It Hot would work; not so sure about Lubitsch, but then again, I'm not sure about The Thin Man either. I suspect in some ways that could be counted, given some of the physical comedy, in at least the first one (possibly later ones, too). Lubitsch is a little more refined and serious, I think. But maybe Ninotchka? Oh, it's in some ways a bit too subjective to say with certainty, I suppose. I'll defer to personal taste here. |
