I have a bet with a friend. I say there was a comedy team in 30's or 40's called the Ritz Brothers. My friend says I am dreaming. Who is right?

If I am right; could someone post brief info about this team.

THanks.

There was, indeed, a comedy team called the Ritz Brothers. The appeared in a number of movies in the '30s and '40s, usually as the comic relief portion of musical-comedy features, although they also starred in a few pictures on their own. Their first names were Al, Jim and Harry and they were big vaudeville stars before they ever broke into movies. I don't know if they ever appeared on radio or not, but since so much of their comedy was physical, probably not since they had to be seen to be appreciated.
