Comedies with high ratings: stories, actors and directors

The first genre of world cinema was comedy. Before the advent of the sound film, most of the films were shot in order to make people laugh and improve their mood.

With the advent of the sound film, the comedies were conventionally divided into two genres: sitcoms and character comedies. In the comedy of situations (situations), the source of laughter is the situation, the event, the circumstances in which the characters of the film fall. And in the comedy of characters (morals), the source of the funny is the inner essence of the character of the main performers, their certain hypertrophic trait or vice, a defect.
