Clyde Bruckman
Clyde Adolf Bruckman was an American writer and director of comedy films during the late silent era, who continued working into the 1950s. Bruckman collaborated with such comedians as Buster Keaton, Monty Banks, W. C. Fields, Laurel and Hardy, The Three Stooges, Abbott and Costello, and Harold Lloyd. Hollywood chronicler Kenneth Anger considers Bruckman to have been one of the key figures in the history of American screen comedy.
