Abstract
El objeto de análisis de este documento es la screwball comedy, el tipo de comedia más popular en el cine norteamericano durante el periodo de la Gran Depresión. El principal propósito de la investigación es determinar las claves fundamentales que condicionaron y caracterizaron a este grupo de comedias. Para ello, se ha combinado la revisión bibliográfica con el visionado de varias películas, tres de las cuales han sido sometidas a un análisis de contenido. Siguiendo esta metodología, se han estudiado diferentes aspectos, como el contexto histórico de esta variante cómica, sus rasgos más identificativos y los directores más destacados, tanto del propio estilo screwball como de la comedia anterior y posterior a este. Finalmente, las conclusiones dan cuenta de la gran conexión de estas películas con la sociedad estadounidense de los años 30 y 40 y evidencian sus influencias recibidas de la comedia muda y las aportadas al género en las siguientes décadas.
