A tour de force through the landscape of American comedy in the 1950s.
This non-fiction paperback, "Laughing Hysterically" from Ed Sikov, was published 14th October 1996 by Columbia University Press.
Rejecting the notion that the 1950s was a bleak, conformist decade in the U.S., this engaging, sophisticated study argues that the era's film comedies reflect the period's underappreciated artistic and social rebelliousness. Publishers Weekly
