- Title: Bob Mckee Reel Secrets: The Anger Of Comedy
- Date: 7th April 1992
- Summary: MCKEE BELIEVES THAT COMEDY MOVIES HAVAE HAD A RAW DEAL, AND THAT WHILE WE LAUGH AT THEM, WE ALSO UNDER-RATAE THEM. VERY FEW COMEDIES GET PICKED FOR THE BEST FILM OSCAR, AND YET MCKEE BELIEVES THEY ARE AS SUCCESSFUL AS ANY OTHER FILM GENRE AND THAT THEY USE HUMOUR TO APPEAL DIRECT TO THE INTELLECT AND CONVEY ANGRY SOCIAL CRITICISM. ROBERT MCKEE TAKES MEL BROOK'S 'THE PRODUCERS' AND PENNY MARSHALL'S 'BIG' (STARRING TOM HANKS) AND EXAMINES WHAT DRIVES THE HUMOUR OF THESE MOVIES. MCKEE REVEALS THE UNDERLYING MESSAGES IN GREAT COMEDY MOVIES, WHICH MAKES THEM VERY MUCH MORE THAN THE SUM OF THEIR JOKES.
