10 slapstick comedy
слэпстик, балаганОригинальный жанр немого кино, созданный режиссером М. Сеннеттом [ Sennett, Mack]. Короткометражки ["shorts"] в этом жанре регулярно выпускались его кинокомпанией "Кистоун" [Keystone Co.] с 1912. Основан на нагромождении комических ситуаций, драк, погонь, невероятных трюков; в короткометражных фильмах непременно фигурировали растяпы-полицейские [Keystone Kops] и хорошенькие купальщицы [Bathing Beauties, Bathing Beauty Girls]. С приходом в кино звука [ talkie] жанр довольно быстро изжил себя. В нем начинали работать Ч. Чаплин [ Chaplin, Charles Spencer (Charlie)] и братья Маркс [ Marx Brothers], Лорел и Харди [ Laurel and Hardy], Дж. Льюис [ Lewis, Jerry], С.
