...There's a six-disc CD set Lenny Bruce: Let the Buyer Beware (Shout! Factory, 2005), edited by Hal Willner and Marvin Worth, that wraps all the familiar bits and much previously unheard material in a handsome 80-page book. It's a must for any advanced Bruceophile.

The only actors granted a little light, and thus a bit of traditional movie glamour, are Cummings and the heroine, Arlene Dahl, whose gown Alton lends a silky luster.
