René Clair’s sparkling comedy of manners is a witty, delicate, inspired satire on propriety and behavior in the bourgeois mind-set. The Italian Straw Hat has few cinematic equals and inspired Pauline Kael to observe “One of the funniest films ever made… so expertly timed and choreographed that farce becomes ballet.” This is the only fully complete edition of The Italian Straw Hat available, mastered in high definition at 19 frames per second from the original 35mm negative used for the English release. |
