Inhalt:
The first of two volumes on American screenwriters planned for the Dictionary of Literary Biography contains studies of the careers of 65 significant motion-picture writers. It includes only those writers who wrote primarily for the screen or those who wrote in other media but had noteworthy film achievements. It does not include novelists who wrote for motion-pictures part-time, such as Faulkner, playwrights such as Neil Simon who adapted their own works to films, and performers such as Charlie Chaplin who wrote their own material. Each entry begins with a list of credits in all media -- motion pictures, television, books, plays, periodical publications -- and includes a bio-filmographic essay, bibliographic refrences, photograph of the writer, and stills from their films. Among the screenwriters included are: James Agee, Clifford Odets, Ben Hecht, Herman Mankiewicz, Sidney Howard, and John Huston.
