ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

It might take a village to raise a child (where are the villagers when you have to pay for college?), but it definitely takes a small army to get me through the writing process. Without a selfless and generous group of individuals, I would have to go out and get a real job, and who would that help, exactly?

In order for Harry and Les to seem like real classic comedians (did anybody notice the reference to them in Some Like It Hot-Buttered?), I relied on a number of sources, including my Marx Brothers bible, Groucho, Harpo, Chico and Sometimes Zeppo, by Joe Adamson. If you can find a copy, more power to ya. I have two.

Special thanks to everyone at the Lillian Booth Actors Home in Englewood, especially Jordan Strohl, the administrator of the Home, and Lynne Hoppe, the director of communications for the Actors Fund. I am a proud member of the Fund, largely because of these two extremely accommodating, helpful, and cheerful people. I hope the Actors Home is presented in the most positive way possible herein, because it really is a special place.

Thanks to Ivan Van Laningham, who contacted me through the DorothyL Listserv (heres a shout-out to the intrepid moderators there), for educating me on the subject of dentures and how theyre marked. It might not have seemed like a big point to you, but I couldnt have gotten past that page without Ivan.

Invaluable help to the Double Feature Mysteries overall has come from many kind souls who seem bound and determined to help me succeed. My sincere gratitude to Victoria Hugo-Vidal and all of Team Pepperoni, who dont realize they have better things to do than promote my work (so dont tell them); Victorias dad, Ross; her mom, Julia Spencer-Fleming; and her brother, Spencer, are all on the team, and I think a lot of people wouldnt have heard about these books without their tireless, generous work. I cant thank them enough.

Thanks of course to Linda Ellerbee for being a good sport and a true friend. Thanks to Tom Straw, Joe Stinson, Matt Kaufhold, and Chris Grabenstein for saying nice things when I really needed nice things to be saidand none of them knew it.

At Berkley Prime Crime: Thanks to Tom Haushalter for putting up with my incessant questions and goofy schemes, and to the incomparable Shannon Jamieson Vazquez, who forced me against my will to have the book make sense, and even braved the wilds of New Jersey to attend a popcorn party. Sure, other editors will correct your grammar, but how many are willing to take New Jersey Transit?

To Christina Hogrebe and the gang at the Jane Rotrosen Agency, thank you for dealing with all the stuff I couldnt possibly understand, which is anything that doesnt involve writing the book itself. What a relief to have a wonderful agent in your corner!

All that effort would be for naught, however, if it werent for terrific booksellers, like Marilyn and Lisa at Moonstone in Flemington, New Jersey; Dianne and Craig at Borders in Fairfield, Connecticut (they should put on a seminar in author events for other bookstores); and the irreplaceable Bonnie and Joe at Black Orchid, whom I wont miss, because theyre still around, but whose store was so friendly and welcoming, and isnt there any more. Dammit.

But more than anyone, thank you to my astonishing family: my mother; my brother, Charlie; my inspiring son, Josh (as he approaches college!); my awesome daughter, Eve; and especially my incredibly understanding wife, Jessica, who has supported my writing habit for twenty-one years and hasnt complained once. Now, thats inspiration.

Further Funny Film Facts For Fanatics

Cracked Ice (1956)

Okay, you got me. There is no movie called Cracked Ice, although there almost was. All of the Lillis and Townes movie titles were alternative working titles for Marx Brothers films. Cracked Ice became Duck Soup (1933); Step This Way and Bargain Basement were working titles for The Big Store (1941); and Peace and Quiet was the title of an early draft of A Day at the Races (1937). As for the Lillis and Townes stage show Youre Making It Up, well, I... made it up.

While Lillis and Townes are meant to belong in the same strata as other great comedy teamssuch as Abbott & Costello, Burns & Allen, Laurel & Hardy, and Martin & Lewisthey are in no way based on any real-life comedians (at least not consciously); with the one notable exception that I swiped their names from a pretty well-known comedy duo: Harry Lillis Bing Crosby and Leslie Townes Bob Hope.

My Man Godfrey (1936)

Directed by Gregory LaCava, screenplay by Morrie Ryskind and Eric Hatch, based on the novel by Hatch. Starring William Powell, Carole Lombard, and Eugene Pallette.

Powell plays a forgotten man, another name for a homeless victim of the Great Depression, who is acquired by Lombard as part of a scavenger hunt and made a butler in her somewhat dizzy home. But theres more to him than meets the eye.
Morrie Ryskind, who wrote the screenplay from Eric Hatchs novel, also cowrote Animal Crackers (1930) and A Night at the Opera (1935) for the Marx Brothers, with George S. Kaufman.
In a very small role, one can find Jane Wyman, who later married (and divorced) Ronald Reagan.

Never Give a Sucker an Even Break (1941)

Directed by Edward F. Cline, screenplay by Prescott Chaplin, W. C. Fields, and John T. Neville, story by Otis Criblecoblis. Starring W. C. Fields, Gloria Jean, Leon Errol, and Margaret Dumont.

In case anyone was wondering, Otis Criblecoblis was actually W. C. Fields.
The film blends reality and fantasy as Fields plays himself, trying to sell a story to Esoteric Pictures. It then moves back and forth into Fieldss story and his trying to sell it. It was Fieldss final starring role.
Mrs. Hemoglobin is played by Margaret Dumont, apparently on leave from playing straight man to Groucho Marx.

The Ghost Breakers (1940)

Directed by George Marshall, screenplay by Walter DeLeon, based on a play by Paul Dickey and Charles W. Goddard. Starring Bob Hope, Paulette Goddard, Anthony Quinn, and Willie Best.

Willie Best eventually played the elevator operator on the fifties TV show My Little Margie. He also wrote the song I Love You for Sentimental Reasons.
Not in any way related to Ghostbusters (1984), this film stars Hope as a somewhat disreputable radio reporter who tags along with Goddard when she inherits a supposedly haunted mansion. The film was actually a quick follow-up to the hit The Cat and the Canary (1939), with the same stars and director.
Another bit part: Robert Ryan (The Wild Bunch, The Dirty Dozen, The Longest Day).

It Happened One Night (1934)

Directed by Frank Capra, screenplay by Robert Riskin, story by Samuel Hopkins Adams. Starring Clark Gable, Claudette Colbert, Walter Connolly, and Alan Hale.

Yes, Alan Hale is the father of the Skipper (Alan Hale, Jr.) on Gilligans Island.
This was the first movie to sweep the big Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Adapted Screenplay. The leading roles were originally offered to Robert Montgomery and Myrna Loy, both of whom turned the movie down. Colbert originally didnt want the role, either, but agreed to take the part when her salary was increased. Gable allegedly told a friend after filming, I just finished the worst picture in the world.
The working title, from the short story it was based on, was Night Bus. Thank goodness I didnt have to come up with a pun for
