BIO

In 1946, Munshin joined the Broadway show Call Me Mister which dealt with the issues that servicemen encountered with return to civilian life. It ran to 734 performances.

In 1948 he moved from Broadway to film. He appeared in such Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer musicals as Easter Parade (1948), Take Me Out to the Ball Game (1949), On the Town (1949) and Silk Stockings (1957).

In August 1958 he appeared at the Aldwych Theatre in London's West End in a run of George Tabori's play Brouhaha with Peter Sellers in the lead role and also featuring Lionel Jeffries. One of the September shows was televised on the BBC. The show which was directed by Peter Hall ran until 28 February 1959.

Munshin died in New York City at the age of 54 from a heart attack, three days before his 55th birthday.
