Alvin Boretz - Biography
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.
