Comedy specialist Marriot Edgar made his movie bow with an acting role in 1932's Here Comes George. From 1935 on, Edgar fashioned screenplays for some of Britain's top movie clowns. He is most closely associated with the Crazy Gang, a Marx Brothers-like aggregation of "nut" comedians, but also worked extensively with Will Hay (Ask a Policeman, Oh Mr. Porter) and Arthur Askey (Band Waggon, Charley's Big-Hearted Aunt, The Ghost Train). In addition, he wrote Stanley Holloway's celebrated "Sam Small" and "Albert" monologues. Marriot Edgar ended his career writing films for the kiddie-matinee trade.
