Biography

Rosenthal was born in Belfast, Ireland in 1893,ibdb name|58378|Harry Rosenthal (actor)] and by the 1920s he was in London where he had a thriving musical career as a composer, bandleader and pianist, including composing five operettas which met with great success. [amg name|2:61562] He came to the United States by 1929, when he wrote songs for Herbert Stothart's musical "Polly" on Broadway, [ibdb title|10823|Polly] and in 1930 acted in Ring Lardner and George S. Kaufman's play "June Moon", which was revived in 1933. [ibdb show|4984|Moon June] After he met Edward, the Prince of Wales at a reception, he accompanied the heir to the British throne on a world tour. [amg name|2:61562]

Rosenthal's film career began in fy|1931 and ended in fy|1948, during which time he worked on 19 films, playing pianists, orchestra leaders and also non-musical roles, as well as composing music (for "The Sin of Harold Diddlebock") and conducting (on "For Me and My Gal"). [imdb name|0742760] In the early 1940s, Rosenthal was part of writer-director Preston Sturges' unofficial "stock company" of character actors, appearing in all of Sturges' films from "The Great McGinty" (fy|1940) through "The Sin of Harold Diddlebock" (fy|1947) with the exception of "Hail the Conquering Hero". [Rosenthal appeared in "The Great McGinty", "Christmas in July", "The Lady Eve", "Sullivan's Travels", "The Palm Beach Story", "The Miracle of Morgan's Creek", "Hail the Conquering Hero", "The Great Moment", "The Sin of Harold Diddlebock"]

Both in New York and in Hollywood, Rosenthal was often mentioned in gossip columns, suprisingly so given the small size of the parts he played. [amg name|2:61562] His death in fy|1953, from a heart attack, was similarly noted. [IMDB [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0742760/bio Bio] ]
