If you just can't seem to resist the sheer zaniness of "Screwball" comedy from Hollywood's heyday of the 1930s & 40s, then this 2-DVD collection of 4 feather-brained Chick Flicks (courtesy of Columbia Studios) will most certainly guarantee to tickle more than just your fancy._____ These 4 mad-cap "Screwballs", which not only featured wacky marital mix-ups, but, also took plenty of opportunity to poke good fun at the rich and pampered, are very typical of their era and certainly provide a delightful bit of escapist fluff from all of the humdrum monotony of everyday life._____ All filmed in glossy b&w (with running times that varied between 72 to 97 minutes), these 4 fun-filled gems of the "Screwball" genre showcased the comical acting talents of such well-known stars-of-the-day as Rosalind Russell, Fred MacMurray, Jean Arthur, Gordon Jones, Herbert Marshall and George Tobias, to name but a few.
