It's a shame they couldn't have made up before Riskin's death.

Nowhere near as memorable a screenwriting name as someone like I.A.L. Diamond who always collaborated with Billy Wilder...Thank you for the history lesson! Now I want me a big helping of "Capra-corn" - I love those feel-good movies!<br />Thanks also for hosting this amazing blogathon, Phyllis!<br />-Chrisangelman66https://www.blogger.com/profile/16471674180789592940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4603100249483133100.post-58025501779045310182017-05-30T13:24:51.348-04:002017-05-30T13:24:51.348-04:00Thanks!
