Blacklisted Movie Writers To Get Credit

The Writers Guild of America has quietly restored screenwriting credits on 24 films, including “The Robe,” “Inherit the Wind” and “Born Free,” to 10 writers who wrote the films under pseudonyms because they were blacklisted during the McCarthy era.

Film scholars estimate that as many as 100 films had blacklisted writers as their authors during the 1950s and ‘60s.
