R.I.P. Irving Brecher died Monday at Cedars-Sinai at the age of 94. Not familiar with that name? You’re more than likely familiar with his writing: He wrote Meet Me In St. Louis, Life of Riley, the Marx Brothers’s At the Circus and Go West, and did uncredited punch-up on The Wizard of Oz. From Go West:
“S. Quentin Quale: Didn’t we meet at Monte Carlo the night you blew your brains out?”
