George Axelrod Dear Milkman

(5 stars; 1 reviews)

Dear Milkman By George Axelrod Good comedy, George Axelrod once said, is bitter; great comedy, angry. He should know. In the Hollywood of the fifties and sixties, it was mostly comedies that put him at the top of the screenwriting profession: Phffft!, The Seven Year Itch, Bus Stop, Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Manchurian Candidate —as ferocious in its political satire as in its paranoid-thriller plot—and the cult classic Lord Love a Duck. His name became synonymous with craft and sophistication. He became a hyphenate, a living legend, and an entry in most film encyclopedias. July 9, 1943. CBC Radio
