AlbakiReads Editorial A career-by-career record of the Ritz Brothers
A career-by-career record of the Ritz Brothers
Roy Liebman assembles a full-length study of the Ritz Brothers’ work across the venues that sustained their more than four-decade career: vaudeville, nightclubs, film and television. The book catalogs the trio’s feature films and short subjects from 1934 to 1976, alongside their television appearances, placing this screen record in the context of archival background material from 20th Century-Fox. By also incorporating contemporaneous and later criticism, it documents how the brothers’ comedy was received as well as where and when they performed. The emphasis is on a comprehensive career history of a once-prominent act now less commonly included in discussions of classic screen comedy.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Fans of classic Hollywood comedy and vaudeville history
- Readers researching the Ritz Brothers’ film and television work
- Film-reference readers interested in 20th Century-Fox-era performers

The Ritz Brothers were a popular comedy trio in vaudeville, nightclubs, movies and television for more than four decades. Today largely overlooked among the classic comedy pantheon, they have been acknowledged as inspirations by such comics as Mel Brooks, Milton Berle, Jerry Lewis and Sid Caesar.
This first full-length study of their work examines all the Ritz Brothers' feature films and short subjects 1934-1976, and their television appearances, with background information from the 20th Century-Fox archives. Contemporaneous and modern-day reviews and critiques are included.
