The Wicked Wit of the West

  • Softcover
  • Teaneck NJ: Ben Yehuda Press, (c.2009)
By Brecher, Irving, as told to Hank Rosenfeld
Teaneck NJ: Ben Yehuda Press. Fine. (c.2009). 3rd printing. Softcover. [as-new, in perfect condition]. Trade PB (B&W photographs) "The last great Golden-Age screenwriter shares the hilarity and heartaches of working with Groucho, Garland, Gleason, Burns, Berle, Benny & many more." Neither an authobiography or a memoir, this is essentially a long oral history -- quite literally "as told to," i.e. transcribed interviews with Brecher, "the product of 6 years of Hank's tagging along with Irv, splitting pastrami sandwiches, and hanging on Irv's every word." .
