- Alvin_Boretz abstract "Alvin Boretz (June 15, 1919 - July 22, 2010) was a prolific writer for stage, screen, radio and television. With an estimated one thousand dramatic scripts to his credit, he contributed to the Golden Age of Television. Before television became popular, Boretz wrote for radio. In that medium he honed his language skills and developed a flair for writing dialogue. Additionally, he became known for strong character development, a feature which—with the sensitive but forthright handling of themes such as divorce, mental retardation and suicide—distinguishes Boretz's critically acclaimed work. The comedian Lenny Bruce sent him a telegram after his Armstrong Circle Theatre production of \"The Desperate Season\" about the averted suicide of a college professor, thanking him for \"the thrilling genius and poetry that exuded from\" the play. In this same Golden Age of Television his script \"The Trial of Poznan\" won a Harcourt Brace award for best television play of 1957 and was published in a book called Best Television Plays, 1957.Alvin Boretz wrote for numerous shows including The Alcoa Hour, Armstrong Circle Theater, General Electric Theater, Playhouse 90, ABC Afterschool Special, CBS Children's Hour, and ABC Movie of the Week. He wrote many television scripts for such series as The Big Story, N.Y.P.D., Dr. Kildare, The Asphalt Jungle, The Defenders, Medical Center, and Kojak.Boretz wrote the screenplay for the 1978 film Brass Target which starred Sophia Loren and John Cassavetes. The critic Roger Ebert wrote in the Chicago Sun-Times \"What sets this movie apart is that real care was lavished on developing the characters and the script's complexities.\"His stage play, \"Made In America\" debuted at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles in 1984. It was directed by Steven Robman and starred Brian Dennehy. The play was described as \"a big play, with no scarcity of themes\" by theater critic Dan Sullivan writing in the Los Angeles Times. Set in middle-class Boston, the play pivots around a blue collar, second generation Irish American who laments the deteriorating condition of his life and his country. His A & E 1992 one act television play, \"I Remember You\" starring Jane Seymour and Daniel J. Travanti is a story of romance and memories between an adventurous sculptor and a conversative banker. It was called a \"real tour-de-force\" by a critic in The Hollywood Reporter.His entire collection of scripts, correspondence and notes is housed at the Wisconsin Center for Film and Theater Research.".
