Wow. That was...quite something. What an interesting, well-argued read. I'm genuinely impressed.
What do you think makes one? ..I have no idea, to be honest. It's not a genre I've ever consciously thought about, but I like your theory that on some level they still exist today. (Yay, Castle!)
What is your opinion on all the Doris Day movies then? Things like Pillow Talk or Lover Come Back? Would they qualify? (I do think Down With Love would be a modern example of a screwball comedy but then again, it's set in the 60s and obviously a hommage to Doris Day and Rock Hudson.)
