PROVENANCE:
This lot was consigned directly to Heritage Auctions by Allen Breneman himself, the character actor who portrayed the fresh, bowtie-snapping bellhop who had the hots for Tony Curtis ["Joe/Josephine"]! Criminally, Breneman was uncredited in this small yet hysterical role, but included with this lot is his 'Letter of Provenance,' handwritten in black ballpoint ink, outlining his fun recollections about his part in this all-time classic comedy.
