Imagine you are asked to provide feedback on the story to Hollywood or TV studio executives. What would you tell them about how the story should be transformed into a screenplay, and how would you justify the changes that you feel are warranted? "Laura" were made into a short film or a TV comedy skit today, would modern audiences find it funny? Would they be offended? How would the story need to change to be both funny and acceptable to modern viewers? (Will it work as high comedy, or should elements of low comedy be introduced? How will today's viewers respond to its use of stereotypes for comic effect?)
