Morrie Ryskind (1895–1985)

This is the shooting script for one of my favourite films, and it reads very well. Those of you +not aware of these comedy giants, the USA's only real answer to "The Goons", or "Monty Python" should get hold of their films and have an enjoyable time.
A note for the SF fans among us, this book also contains two photos of Fritz Leiber's father, also named Fritz Leiber while he was working.

The Marx Brothers help Chico's opera-singing friend make it in New York.

Very funny. Harpo's still funnier than the other two, but this time around they're all hilarious.

Quite a bit of new material in the original script that must have been changed after the on the road tryouts. Reminded me of how Groucho was the only person Kaufman would let ad lib off of his scripts, and of how Groucho called Kaufman “my personal god.”
