Puttin' On The Ritz

The Ritz Brothers
On David Steinberg's new show, "Inside Comedy," he asks Mel Brooks about his early inspirations.  The Ritz Brothers tops his list. They brought a wonderful brand of insanity to the stage and screen, gaining fame in the '20 and '30s.  My dad remembers paying a quarter to see the Ritz Brothers perform at a club downtown.  Here they are singing my grandparents' favorite song, "Otchi Chernye."
