Biography

Screenwriter Raphael Blau frequently collaborated on scripts with Ted Berkman, his brother-in-law. Their best-known script was the campy Ronald Reagan comedy Bedtime for Bonzo (1951) in which the future U.S. president co-starred with a scene-stealing chimp. Blau made his screenwriting debut in 1949 with Mother is a Freshman. Before becoming a film writer, Blau specialized in writing scripts for radio mystery series. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
