Pursuits of Happiness: The Hollywood Comedy of Remarriage QUOTES

1 " (Can human beings change? The humor, and the sadness, of remarriage comedies can be said to result from the fact that we have no good answer to that question.) "

― Stanley Cavell , Pursuits of Happiness: The Hollywood Comedy of Remarriage

2 " On Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell in His Girl Friday:

"These two simply appreciate one another more than either of them appreciates anyone else, and they would rather be appreciated by one another more than by anyone else. They just are at home with one another, whether or not they can ever live together under the same roof -- that is, ever find a roof they can live together under. "

― Stanley Cavell , Pursuits of Happiness: The Hollywood Comedy of Remarriage
