Mark Kermode's Secrets of Cinema

Series 1 Episode 1: The Romcom

Mark begins with one of the most popular genres of all. They are sometimes sneered at by critics, but from the 1930s to the present day, many of our most beloved movies have been romantic comedies. From `Bringing Up Baby' and `The Lady Eve' by way of `Annie Hall', `When Harry Met Sally' and `Pretty Woman' to `Love, Actually' Mark examines the cinematic tricks and techniques involved in creating a classic romcom.
