"Brecher is the most influential writer you've never heard of in
Hollywood. He wrote At the Circus and Go West for the Marx brothers
and classics such as Du Barry Was a Lady and Meet Me in St. Louis
for MGM. He wrote stand-up for Milton Berle and created the radio
and television program The Life of Riley. Now in his nineties, the
man is still a comedic genius with wit and timing that can't be
beat. Incredibly, his career covers the entire spectrum of
20th-century entertainment, beginning with vaudeville and
encompassing movies, radio, plays, television, and even the web (in
impassioned support for the writers' strike of 2007). Brecher's
story is presented as a series of interviews, which allows his
voice to come through in its witty splendor. Rosenfeld does a fine
job as chronicler, selector, and muse for these interviews, and his
genuine friendship with Brecher is the reason that this book
exists. Altogether delightful, this is an incredible reminiscence
by a remarkable man." -- Library Journal starred review
