	Charles Lederer Summary
		Charles Lederer was born in New York City, the son of two then-prominent figures in the American theater--producer George Lederer and singer Reine Davies.
		In fact, Lederer's greatest achievement in restructuring the original was his ability to change the context of the biting repartee from that of an entirely male world to one of a once-married couple.
		Charles Lederer often produced lively adaptations and worked well in collaboration with others, but when an original play or story was frail or when the other members of his writing team did not possess the genius of a Ben Hecht, Lederer's writing lost the sparkle and wit present in his best screenplays.

		Based on Charles Lindbergh's 1953 Pulitzer Prize-winning book of the same name, The Spirit of St. Louis (1957) covers his groundbreaking 33-hour-and-20-minute solo flight from New York to Paris in May of 1927.
		Co-screenwriter Charles Lederer got his start writing additional dialogue for the first screen adaptation of Hecht and MacArthur's hit Broadway play The Front Page (1931), which Billy Wilder remade in 1974.
		Lederer had since earned a reputation for writing some of Hollywood's sharpest dialogue, including His Girl Friday (1940) - another version of The Front Page - and the brutal film noir Kiss of Death (1947).

		After all, it had been duly documented in a "In Dad's Day", which was authored by Louis Lederer, and based on extracts from a diary maintained by great-grandfather Charles Lederer.
		While it was in fact issued to a Lederer, we have no proof that such was in our direct lineage.
		It seems that this coat of arms was brought to Geradstetten by Lederer brothers from Speyer, which is not very far from Geradstetten.

	monkeybusiness
		Cary gets a crew-cut, some snappy new youthful clothes, and drives a flashy new fast sports car with reckless abandon, while Ginger dances the hoochie-coochie, plays a practical joke on her hubby's boss, and heats up sexually.
		Charles Coburn, Cary's boss at the chemical company, hands his sexy secretary Marilyn Monroe a letter and says "Get someone to type this." Later when Marilyn has left the room, Coburn turns to Grant and answers his unasked thoughts by blurting out "Anyone can type."
		Hawks' attempts to draw out the thin idea and carry it off in a zany slapstick manner is only marginally successful, though certainly worth seeing and pondering what went wrong in the film's formula from making it a great flick.

	The Austin Chronicle Screens: Review - His Girl Friday
		Perfectly pairing Grant and Russell with an excellent script by Charles Lederer (based on Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur's 1931 play The Front Page), it is the kind of studio magic that occurred when the powers-that-be assigned the best work to the best candidates.
		Hawks' inspiration was to cast a woman as Hildy, a role usually played by a man. This changed the whole dynamic of the work and spawned a slew of imitators, not the least of which was TV's Moonlighting.
		Screenwriter Lederer's scripts have a freshness even today -- 1995 saw a remake of his script Kiss of Death, and 2001 brings us Steven Soderbergh's take on Ocean's Eleven, which Lederer wrote the script for in 1960.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: His Girl Friday
		Thankfully, we were dead wrong — His Girl Friday is now on DVD from Columbia, and take a close look at that boxcover, because that's the only DVD version you should consider adding to your collection.
		Largely considered among the greatest screwball comedies of all time, His Girl Friday actually appeared on film before Howard Hawks made his version, as the story is taken from Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur's stage play and 1931 talkie The Front Page about a dueling editor and reporter at a busy New York daily.
		Here, Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell portray Walter Burns and Hildegard "Hildy" Johnson, who are not quite the original duo in The Front Page, but recast as a divorced husband and wife.

	mutinyonthebounty
		This sweeping remake of the 1935 Oscar-winning version starring Clark Gable-Charles Laughton suffers in comparison for the following reasons: it's overlong at 180 minutes, poorly paced, spends too much time on the unimportant Tahiti romantic interludes, and Marlon Brando's affected foppish performance (with a bad Brit accent to boot) couldn't match Gable's spry performance.
		Charles Lederer, the last screenwriter still standing after a few were fired, adapted the Charles Nordhoff and James Hall novel about a mutiny on an 18th-century British naval vessel en route to the South Pacific.
		Lewis Milestone took over the helm after original director Carol Reed jumped ship.
