I love that cold war satire film where Peter Sellers plays three different characters and there's a world destroying doomsday bomb at play.

What? You thought I was talking about a different film?
@internetarchive love that #screwball comedy, very modern. you could also say it's a #femimist movie comes red to some modern movies with more outdated cliches.
@bitbonk @internetarchive @kinoimkasten @Phase_IV sie sind dann gemeinfrei. Aber die Begriffe sind nicht identisch. Und amerikanisches Urheberrecht nicht identisch mit dem deutschen. Ich würde Mal davon ausgehen. Wenn der Film aber zb neu restauriert wird, gilt natürlich das Urheberrecht der Restaurator*innen. Zb bei #Metropolis . Also dann besser alte Digitalisierungen zeigen und nicht neue Blu-ray! Den Film oben kann ich sehr empfehlen als #screwball comedy!!

When you hear “The Milly Way” what comes to mind?
That’s right, the 1936 screwball comedy about milkmen starring Harold Lloyd and Adolphe Menjou.
The 5th #screwball comedy my 9yo saw and the 3rd with Cary Grant — and she loved it again. It’s great that some films still entertain new generations after 80+ years. Even when it’s b&w. But there is a modern (or timeless?) quality to many of these films.
Film school continues for my 9yo with my most favorite genre —
#screwball comedy. And among my top 10 is this great Billy Wilder #film „One, Two, Three“. So it was today also kind of a history lesson for her …

Mission #screwball continues to be successful. Was watching „Bringing Up Baby“ on #bluray with my 9yo today and she loved it — despite being b&w, which was her main concern before. Apart from some Laurel & Hardy shorts her first b&w #film …
I am quite glad that my 9yo also enjoyed one of my favorite films — the #screwball classic „What’s Up, Doc?“. Even though quite a lot of the verbal gags are lost in translation / dubbing, she enjoyed the #film nevertheless.

Very likely already in your repertoire, but Howard Hawks's Bringing up Baby (1938), with Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant is the screwballest of screwball comedies. Truly anarchic. And it passes the generations test: my 11yo daughters liked it too.
