520 | |a What Made Pistachio Nuts? examines what Henry Jenkins calls anarchistic comedy, a body of comedian-centered films produced in the early 1930s, the first years of the sound era. Bringing a fresh perspective to long-forgotten films by W.C. Fields, Wheeler and Woolsey, Eddie Cantor, and George Burns and Gracie Allen, among others, Jenkins shows how they represented the intersection between the vaudeville aesthetic and classical Hollywood norms, exemplifying the complex interplay between performance spectacle and narrative causality. Unjustly dismissed by critics, exuberant and often zany works such as Diplomaniacs, Duck Soup, and Hollywood Party rejoiced in the collapse of the social order and the freeing of the creativity and impulsiveness of their protagonists | ||
