Thesis Title: From Stage to Screen: Adapting Theatre for Commedia all'italiana Cinema (1959-1967)
Summary: This integrated study brings together a group of hybrid films called 'Italian-style theatre adaptations', and shows that they were significant cultural moments as they raise the vexed question of popular genres and commercial cinema, and their relation to left-wing hegemonic critical practice and its valorisation of the literary source-text.
