Robert Wright

Director

The pair auditioned for M-G-M in the mid-1930s and earned a contract, writing songs for "Maytime," for which they borrowed classical themes. Among their more famous songs are "The Donkey Serenade," which features their lyrics and a theme by Friml (which they adapted), and "Strange Music," inspired by the music of Edvard Grieg.
