How Robert Rich s 1957 story win for the film (despite the fact that he didn t write a word) kicked off one of Hollywood s most intriguing credit battles and why it remains unsolved.
On May 15, 1975, Dalton Trumbo was vindicated. One of Hollywood s top screenwriters a committed leftist whose career had cratered under the blacklist before his back-channel maneuvering helped defeat it lay in ill health at his West Hollywood home when there was a knock on his door.
