	Michael Frayn
		And his achievement was to use comedy and farce as vehicles for exploring philosophical ideas.
		And Headlong (1999), justly shortlisted for the Booker Prize, was a dazzling account of a young would-be art historian's accidental discovery of what he takes to be a missing Bruegel masterpiece.
		What emerges is a genuine spiritual affinity between the two writers: like his mentor, Frayn is a dramatist who sees comedy as the perfect vehicle with which to explore the gap between the vast, mysterious universe and our own sad, hilarious and often futile attempts to impose our private structure upon it.

	The Ladykillers (1955) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Only the best American comedies have lasted anywhere near that long (consider, for example, the sad fate of many of the movies that people thought were really funny in the 80s – Police Academy, anyone?).
		The reason The Ladykillers has not only survived but has now been remade is because the comedy in it is not only effective, but it is intelligent, and it is very difficult not to be impressed by a comedy with a brain.
		The comedy, for me, lies in the difference between what is planned and what is played out, particularly in the difficulties that the gang of criminals have in outsmarting a sweet old lady who acts like a grandmother supervising a group of unruly grandchildren.
