Their female protagonists were strong, independent, and sophisticated. Here, Stanley Cavell names this new genre of American film--\"the comedy of remarriage\"--and examines seven classic movies for their cinematic techniques and for such varied themes as feminism, liberty, and interdependence. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIncluded are \u003ci\u003eAdam's Rib\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Awful Truth\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBringing Up Baby\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHis Girl Friday\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eIt Happened One Night\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Lady Eve\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Philadelphia Story\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanley Cavell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 067473906X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674739062\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/1984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.68h x 5.98w x 0.81d","brand":"Stanley Cavell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44054602907903,"sku":"9780674739062","price":35.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_43437f69-7fb0-48e0-bd8e-988786c84bed.jpg?v=1685030904","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pursuits-of-happiness-stanley-cavell-9780674739062","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
