Stanley Cavell identified a genre of classic American films that engaged these questions in his study of comedies of remarriage, 'Pursuits of Happiness'. With 'Contesting Tears', Cavell demonstrates that a contrasting genre, which he calls 'the melodrama of the unknown woman, ' shares a surprising number and weave of concerns with those comedies. Cavell provides close readings of four melodramas he finds definitive of the genre: 'Letter from an Unknown Woman', 'Gaslight', 'Now Voyager', and 'Stella Dallas'.
