Book Summary

In Unlikely Couples: A Cinema of Transgressive Love, Thomas E. Wartenberg directly challenges the view that narrative cinema inherently supports the dominant social interests by examining how popular films about |unlikely couples| (mismatched romantic unions viewed as inappropriate due to their class, racial, or gender composition) explore, expose, and criticize societal attitudes, boundaries, and prejudices. The films under consideration -- including King Kong, Pygmalion, It Happened One Night, Pretty Woman, White Palace, Some Like it Hot, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, Mississippi Masala, Ali: Fear Eats the Soul, Desert Hearts, The Crying Game, Heavenly Creatures, Good Will Hunting, As Good As It Gets, and Titanic -- are examined both individually and as a whole to illustrate the way in which the genre uses the figure of a transgressive couple to confront issues of social privilege.
