| | Slide Area: Film Book Notes 4/99 |
 | | Hal Kanter is such a legendary writer of radio, television, and screen comedy that it is something of a surprise to find that his autobiography, "So Far, So Funny: My Life In Show Business" is published by McFarland (at $35.00) rather than by a major trade publisher. |
 | | The career of Hal Kanter is a fascinating one, and it is recounted here with truth and with humor, as he recalls names such as Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Milton Berle, Danny Kaye, Frank Capra, Elvis Presley, and the creators of Amos 'n' Andy, Freeman Gosden, and Charles Correll. |
 | | Kanter has a wonderful way with words, and as a writer, of course, he should. |
