4.9/5 (26445 ratings)

Description:The demand for comedy of all kinds seems to be a permanent fixture of society. When life goes sour, people want to laugh. It is not unusual, therefore, that the most popular figures in film history have been the great jesters. The film antics of such men as Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd, Mack Sennett, Harry Langdon, Buster Keaton, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, the Keystone Cops and Hal Roach have elicited laughter through the years, from each succeeding generation, and the influence of the styles they developed is strongly felt in the successful film comedy of today.Yesterday's Clowns is not so much a detailed history of film comedy as it is a tender visit with some of these pioneer comedians, many of whom were as pitiable in their private lives as they were funny in their film roles. Included in the book are scenes from classic films and portraits of the great screen comics.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
