Sobre IBD

An insightful and entertaining examination of the savvy, funny generation that restored the female imprint on American film comedy in the 1980s, reclaiming cinematic territory from which women had long been sidelined. It’s a detailed, readable look at their lives, times, and of course, movies, from Nine to Five (1980) to Steel Magnolias (1989) and every title in between-box-office smashes that proved that in that age of spirited, second-wave feminism, girls didn’t just want to have fun but funny. Praise for Books by Dan Lalande  The Drop Dead Funny ’70s: American Film Comedies Year by Year: 'A knowledgeable, entertaining, and useful critical review of comedy films of the 1970s' - Library Journal Heroes of the New Hollywood: Hoffman, Hackman, Nicholson, Pacino, Duvall and De Niro in the 70s:'The author clearly has an affection for this period in film history, a seemingly encyclopedic knowledge of it, and writes with the insight of a historian and the enthusiasm of a fan. The book ranks right up there with Peter Biskind’s classic Easy Rider, Raging Bulls' - Booklist
