In this class, we will discuss George Cukor's 1944 melodrama, Gaslight, and his 1949 screwball comedy Adam's Rib with particular interest in the central couples. Participants will view the movies prior to the class which will be focused on a discussion of the films' shared, though contrastive, treatment of theme, character, motif, and plot.
