Of course everyone knows now of Leo Bloom and Max Bialystock. I'm just wondering, since the name Leopold Bloom is taken from James Joyce's masterwork Ulysses, does Max have a similar literary namesake? Thanks for your help.
Cheers,

thejester,
also, a bialy is a first cousin to a bagel and a kaiser roll and delicious with a bit of butter or creamcheese......
i always thought Mel Brooks used the name because of the bread product, bialy. :)
