Samenvatting

A Fine Romance: Adapting Broadway to Hollywood in the Studio System Era explores the symbiotic relationship between a dozen Broadway musicals and their Hollywood film adaptations, including some of the best loved, most admired, and most enduring works in their respective genres. Beginning with the stage version of Show Boat and ending with Bob Fosse's cinematic re-envisioning of Cabaret, Geoffrey Block explores twelve stage shows and their film adaptations spanning nearly a half century (1927-1972). A Fine Romance engages with aesthetic and critical concerns while also considering social issues, including race and ethnicity, class, gender, and sexual identity.
