What Made Pistachio Nuts?: Early Sound Comedy and the Vaudeville Aesthetic - Paperback
by Henry Jenkins (Author)
Lively and highly readable, What Made Pistachio Nuts? examines what Henry Jenkins calls the anarchistic tradition of American film comedy. Anarchistic comedies of the 1930s mock the social order and celebrate the creativity and impulsiveness of their protagonists in a form of clowning that ultimately reestablishes the status quo.Jenkins focuses on well-known films such as the Marx Brothers' Duck Soup and W.C. Fields' It's a Gift, as well as all-but-forgotten works like Diplomaniacs, Hollywood Party, So Long Lefty, and others. He tracks the careers of the comic stars -Eddie Cantor, Winnie LIghtner, W.C. Fields, Charlotte Greenwood, the Marx Brothers, and Wheeler and Woolsey- as they moved from vaudeville and the New York reviews to Hollywood.

Good quality.
The shipment did not arrive due to an incorrect address. Quick refund.
It's beautiful, I really liked it, however for my next purchase I will order size M because the top comes small, and I don't have a bust.
The case fits a 65 cm ball.

It has the corset strings , a zipper on the side and easy to put on I’m 5’6 and 140pounds . I just wish the straps were adjustable but it’s not that bad over all 8/10.

Gorgeous ring! I got the silver and gold versions, these are great for thumb rings or to stack. Super sparkly and packaged nicely!
