Marshall Brickman

Marshall Brickman (born August 25, 1939) is an American screenwriter and director, best known for his collaborations with Woody Allen. He is also known for playing the banjo with Eric Weissberg in the 1960s, and for a series of comical parodies published in The New Yorker.

Life and career

Brickman was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to American parents Pauline (née Wolin) and Abram Brickman. His family was Jewish. After attending the University of Wisconsin–Madison, he became a member of Folk act The Tarriers in 1962, recruited by former classmate Eric Weissberg. Following the disbanding of The Tarriers in 1965, Brickman joined The New Journeymen with John Phillips and Michelle Phillips, who later had success with The Mamas & the Papas. He left The New Journeymen to pursue a career as a writer, initially writing for television in the 1960s, including Candid Camera, The Tonight Show, and The Dick Cavett Show. It was during this time that he met Allen, with whom he would collaborate on three completed film screenplays during the 1970s: Sleeper (1973), Annie Hall (1977, which won the Best Original Screenplay Oscar), and Manhattan (1979).

Famous quotes by Marshall Brickman:

"We had to be diplomatic and discreet, for the protection of the authors."
"If it wasn't for the music, they've said they would have ended up in the trunk of somebody's car or doing time. Bob, who was from New Rochelle, was a little more middle-class."
"It's not really a dark piece. There are plenty of laughs. I would call it a show with a lot of emotions."
"It's like that dinner date that you make for six months in advance. You think it will never happen. And then it's here."
"We looked and said, `This one might be right. This is sort of what we need.' We had to leave out, obviously, about the same amount of songs we had in."
