About the author
Working first in Britain, he entered the film industry during the 1930s and wrote a number of quota quickies, the low-budget features that helped shape early commercial cinema. In the 1940s, he was involved with more prestigious films, including Portrait from Life.
Later in his career, he moved to the United States and worked on his final screenplay, Strange Intruder. Alongside screenwriting, he was also a novelist, making him one of those writers whose work crossed easily between page and screen.
He was born on August 7, 1893, in Wales and died on May 20, 1966, in Los Angeles, California.
