Papers of a screenwriter who refused to testify before the House Committee on Un-American Activities in 1953 and was blacklisted as a result. Most of the collection documents his career as a screenwriter through biographical material, screenplays for motion pictures and television, and unproduced story ideas for various genre; there is extensive documentation for several unproduced films and for The Defiant Ones (UA, 1958) and Inherit the Wind (UA, 1960). Some were written under the pseudonym Nathan E. Douglas.
