| | George S. Kaufman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Despite his claims that he knew nothing of music, and, in fact, hated it in the theatre, Kaufman collaborated on many musicals. |
 | | His most successful include The Cocoanuts, written with Irving Berlin for the Marx Brothers, Animal Crackers, also written for the Marx Brothers, with Morrie Ryskind, Bert Kalmar, and Harry Ruby, Of Thee I Sing (Pulitzer Prize 1931), and Let 'Em Eat Cake which had incarnations with Ryskind, Ira Gershwin, and George Gershwin. |
 | | Although Kaufman skewered the film industry in his plays and prose pieces, he did occasional work for Hollywood, most significantly as a writer of A Night at the Opera for the Marx Brothers. |
