Robert L. Richards
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert L. Richards was a film screenwriter.
Richards worked on a number of notable films of the 1940s and 1950s including Winchester '73, Johnny Stool Pigeon, and Act of Violence. Robert (Bob) Richards was blacklisted in Hollywood because of his left wing beliefs. He wrote under various false names, just to get work, until he finally gave up and became a carpenter. He retired to Patzquaro, Mexico where he died, still bitter about the career he had lost.
