spiderwort , I understand its overwhelmingness (is that a word? Hmmm...), Oh, salzmank, I hope you didn't take anything I said as a criticism! I love this thread! I'm just trying to figure out how to tackle it without getting too carried away. I love the shorter posts about one or two writers that others have made, but I tend to want to go on too long. Just trying to limit myself. Anyway, here are some writers who did a lot of (though not always) comedies. Some well known, some not so much (forgive any repeats): Sidney Sheldon - The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer (original screenplay, Oscar) Norman Panama & Melvin Frank - The Road to Utopia (Oscar nom), The Facts of Life (Oscar nom), White Christmas, The Court Jester (also directed) Isobel Lennart - Please Don't Eat the Daisies, Funny Girl, Holiday Affair, The Sundowners (Oscar nom), Love Me or Leave Me (Oscar nom) Sidney Buchman - Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (Oscar nom), Here Comes Mr. Jordon (Oscar), The Talk of the Town (Oscar nom), Theodora Goes Wild Norman Krasna - The Devil and Miss Jones (Oscar nom), Princess O'Rourke (Oscar), The Richest Girl in the World (original screenplay, Oscar nom) Nora Ephron - When Harry Met Sally (Oscar nom; also directed), Julie and Julia (also directed), Silkwood (Oscar nom) Phoebe Ephron & Henry Ephron (Nora's parents) - Desk Set, Daddy Long Legs, There's No Business Like Show Business, Carousel, Bells on Their Toes, Captain Newman, MD (Oscar nom) Betty Comden & Adolph Green - Auntie Mame, On the Town, Bells Are Ringing, Singin' in the Rain, The Band Wagon (Oscar nom), It's Always Fair Weather (Oscar nom) Ruth Gordon & Garson Kanin - Adam's Rib, Pat and Mike, The Rat Race, A Double Life (Oscar nom)
