Clyde Adolf Bruckman (June 30, 1894[1][2]: 131 – January 4, 1955) was an American writer and director of comedy films during the late silent era as well as the early sound era of cinema. Bruckman collaborated with such comedians as Buster Keaton, Monty Banks, W. C. Fields, Laurel and Hardy, The Three Stooges, Abbott and Costello, and Harold Lloyd.
Hollywood chronicler Kenneth Anger considers Bruckman to have been one of the key figures in the history of American screen comedy.[3]
