Felix Adler (screenwriter)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Felix Adler (January 22, 1884 – March 25, 1963) was an accomplished American screenwriter whose career spanned over 30 years. He is best known for his work with the Three Stooges.
Felix was born on January 22, 1884 in Chicago, Illinois, USA. He began his career as a title writer for Mack Sennett in the early 1920s, before working for the Three Stooges films, Felix wrote for Laurel and Hardy as well as Abbott and Costello. Felix was a staff writer for the Columbia Pictures Short Subject department, a position he held until its demise in 1957.
A much-loved resident of Hollywoodland, Felix Adler spent his latter years at home drinking and hoping for writing jobs that did not come. He was famously sociable, chatting with neighbors at the Beachwood Village Laundry and giving pocket money to local children. His charming storybook house became a popular stop-off for neighbors on their way to and from the Beachwood Market because he would invariably invite them in for a drink.
Felix died of abdominal cancer at the Motion Picture County Hospital in Woodland Hills, California on March 25, 1963.
As a joke, Felix would sometimes misspell his surname as Alder in the credits
The last Three Stooges film featuring Adler's writing was Stop!, Look and Laugh, a compilation of previously filmed shorts, released in 1960, just three years before he died. 1958's Oil's Well That Ends Well Stooges short was the last original release of his work.
