_Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid_ and _The Man With Two Brains_ were co-written by Carl Reiner, Steve Martin, and George Gipe. Gipe was a magazine writer from Baltimore, and those two films are his only Hollywood credits. My father knew him, and Gipe told a story about being with Reiner and Martin in a restaurant in L.A., one of those places where stars go to eat and other people go to see the stars. They were seated together and Gipe said to the other two, “It’s really strange having everyone in the place staring at me.” Reiner and Martin, two major celebrities, looked at this unknown writer from Baltimore, and one said, “What do you mean, staring at _you_?” Gipe replied, “Sure. Everyone in the room is saying, ‘Who the heck is that guy with Carl Reiner and Steve Martin?’” ---
