Little could the author have imagined, drawing a pencil sketch of
The Boys as a mere teenager, that a few years later he d actually
be meeting Laurel & Hardy s boss that Genial Purveyor of Joy
and Laughter HAL ROACH and even less could he have imagined all the
adventures and Brodies that were yet to unspool. The author, a
former comedy-crazed kid from San Diego, made a Laurel & Hardy
style comedy on 8mm film at the age of 15. He first met Hal Roach
in 1973 as a 20-year-old undergraduate of the UCLA Motion
Picture/Television Department and interviewed him extensively for
his term paper on American Film Comedy. Years later, Mr. Calman was
invited by Mr. Roach to stay in his home and help the 96-year-old
prepare the script for his come back comedy. This book contains
personal anecdotes of the author s friendship with this pioneer
producer, and presents a complete and detailed overview of Hal
Roach s career, from the adventurous youth s arrival in Hollywood
in 1912 during the earliest days of movie making, to the creation
of a studio dedicated to the production of world-wide popular film
comedies, to his pioneering work at the birth of the talkies and
his virtual launching of the television industry in Hollywood
twenty years after that, and on through the 100th year of his
exuberantly productive life.
