- This is a tribute to my favorite movie genre - classic screwball comedy. I've been working on this video for a long time and finally managed to finish it today so I'm feeling rather accomplished lol. I thoroughly enjoyed making this and I hope you will enjoy watching! :)
I absolutely love the classic screwball comedies of the 30's and 40's. They are indeed fascinating... funny, frenzied and full of crazy antics, witty dialogue and numerous quirks and mishaps. Also starring some of the finest comedy actors and actresses of the era - William Powell, Myrna Loy, Carole Lombard, Claudette Colbert, Cary Grant and Jean Arthur (to name just a few). For me, this is old Hollywood at its best :)
I've included clips from some of my favorites and some of the best known of the genre.

THE RECKLESS MOMENT with james mason is FULL OF SYMBOLISM.
I love coming back to this video every couple of years. It got me into screwball comedies, and each time I watch I’ve seen more of these films and appreciate this video even more. I hope you never take this down
BEST vid on youtube.
OMFG. I am absolutely speechless. I had to watch this three times before I was able to attempt to articulate my feelings on this magnificent video. I am just blown away. I LOVED THIS SO SO SO MUCH. Honestly, I haven't enjoyed a video on UA-cam THIS much in a long time. The mood, the song, the editing, the moments you chose- it's absolutely perfect and epitomizes why this is one of (if not) the best genre for classic films. Excuse me while I go watch this for a fourth (and fifth and sixth and seventh etc etc etc.) time. This is INCREDIBLE
eeee omg what a lovely comment, that’s truly made my day. Thank you very much, it means a lot! I’m really glad you enjoyed it! :)
Laura you have some pretty awesome vids, yourself!
😂😂😂 LOL this makes me laughing the entire video. I love these types of movies. Comedy, Screwballs. Lovely classics. Amazing job on this video. :)
I must have seen this video 10 times but i never get tired of it! bravo! ❤
Good grief, this is incredible. Like. I am in awe.
This is my new favorite video on UA-cam! Thanks for the video, you inspired me to start writing a screenplay.
How'd the screenplay go?
@@msgigirogers1559 It got rejected by a studio.
@@msgigirogers1559 Thank you. Good luck in life to you my friend!
i haven't commented on any video in probably 3 years. but i had to for this one. wonderful clips and music. thanks for the list of films too. best video i've seen in a long time
Beautiful madness! :D I love it! ♥
Great for my US History class! The contemporary music and quick edits make it relatable to younger students.
This is WONDERFUL omg I am so so happy I subscribed to you, you are really gonna be one of the best OH vidders on here :) this is perfect and just pure fun, plus I love that song and it's so nice to hear it again :) nothing to say except KEEP VIDDING
Omg thank you so much, I really appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed. I do have a few more ideas for videos so there should be more on the way soon. Lol I just love that song too…it’s addictive! :)
This makes me laugh really hard XD😂😂😂 I love the old screwball comedies that it's funny! I love this! Thanks for posting this!
Oh my god, this dererves a thousand times more views. Brilliant work, thank you!
Loved every minute of it. Thank you!
This is absolutely amazing! loved every single second of it and put such a smile on my face!!! :) Magnificent!!!!! :)
What a wonderful compilation. I love these movies.
Bravo ! Superbe !
Someone please please please make a modern day screwball comedy!
This is AMAZING! Seriously I can't even describe how much I love it. A serious amount of skill went into this, really well done! Screwball comedy is definitely my favourite genre of film and this just captures everyhting - the energy, the humour, the speed, everything! I can't stop watching. It's fantastic!
Thank you so much for the lovely comment! I really appreciate it. The hardest part was actually trying to decide which clips to include. There’s just so many great moments to choose from - I tried to squeeze in as many as possible lol. :)
Very well matched to the beat. This must have cost a lot of time! I love the genre and I made a tribute to it a few months ago too. I'm curious to see what you will make next.
This is so good!
FANTASTIC!!!!😃💚💘💛
I LOVE IT! God, I love classic screwball comedies so much! There's nothing quite like them on Earth. :D
This video is pure bliss. Could tell me what clips you used? I recognize most of them, but not all.
Aw thank you! :) I know - they’re just such a breath of fresh air. I’ve now added a list of the movies in the description bar - sorry its taken so long lol. They aren’t listed in order of appearance but if you want, I can identify any specific clips for you, just let me know.
Hepburned
Awesome, thank you!
I loved this!!!It's Linda
Pause at 0:52 I guess Marylin Monroe wasn’t the classic of doing this after all XD
Impressive list of great movies. Have you watched any German screwball comedies from the 1930s? Some very good ones there too.
s'wonderful!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Screwball or slapstick? Who cares! This is great. If you love this like I do, then you will love my Cary Grant ~ "A Class Act" Featuring Cary And His Leading Ladies Fan Group. The Leading Ladies are a recent addition to the page. They are all there, with films too. Come join it!
You ever have this on tiktok? 🥺
Can you help -What is the name of the screwball comedy with a dysfunctional family living in a big house, with an uncle who thinks he is still fighting the american civil war? been trying to think of the name for years - seen it 30 years ago, still think of it.
Could you be talking about "Arsenic and old lace"?
No, this was before that, a young girl brings her boyfriend home to meet her family.
Is it "You can't take it with you"?
Thank you - I just adore them! All my favorite comedies are of that kind and that era!
But I will be frank - the song is rubbish.
Your video would be wonderful if it weren't for the 80's style pop tune overlapping the entire thing. This would have been the perfect video for a classic swing number.
the examples you have are hallmarks of slapstick, not screwball. screwball has slapstick, physical moments- but what defines it is witty repartee, confusion of identity, wordplay and puns, irony and humour. good idea- but i think as a tribute its misplaced.
good selections BUT they go by quickly you go blind trying to get a look. not worth the eye trouble. or the music
as usual rotten music to accompany clips, makes them very tiring to watch , detroys what greatness they might have had.
