The Classically American Comedy of Larry Gelbart (Filmmakers Series) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Larry Gelbart has contributed to some of the most important and successful comedy works in radio, television, film, and theatre—A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Tootsie, M*A*S*H, and City of Angels—and he has collaborated with such luminaries as Mel Brooks, Woody Allen, Neil Simon, Stephen Sondheim, Bob Fosse, and Carl Reiner. Yet, little public attention has been given to this gifted and respected comedy writer. Jay Malarcher's book makes up for this and presents the story of Gelbart's contributions to media history, beginning with his professional career at the age of sixteen writing for the popular radio program Duffy's Tavern to his tenure in television as a writer for Bob Hope, then on to his work in movies and finally focusing on his latest works on cable channels like HBO and Showtime.
