'Falling in Love at the Movies: Rom-Coms from the Screwball Era to Today' by Esther Zuckerman (Running Press 256-page hardback)
Spanning decades of romantic comedies - from movies of the 1930s to the rom-com craze of the '80s and '90s all the way to contemporary hits of today - Falling in Love at the Movies takes readers on a journey through the heartwarming (and heartbreaking) world of cinematic romance.
Esther Zuckerman looks at the auteurs who not only created the rom-com canon, establishing tropes like the "meet-cute" and the "perfect pair", but also subverted it, bucking the "happily ever after" trend and looking beyond traditional narratives of the studio system. Filled with behind-the-scenes stories and photos throughout.
