[PalmTree]

You omitted 30's screwball comedies. 

'It Happened One Night' and Bringing Up Baby', for openers.

My wife's great-granddad, Cliff Reid, produced Bringing Up Baby.  Loved the 30's and 40's comedies - especially with Cary Grant who was crazily prolific in those 2 decades.  

Other favorites from back then were My Man Godfrey, the first 2 of Thin Man series & The Philadelphia Story.  To Be or Not To Be and The Great Dictator were pretty brilliant too, in their own way - great satires for tough times.
