Arthur Caesar (9 March 1892 - 20 June 1953) was a screenwriter. Romanian by birth, and brother of the songwriter Irving Caesar, Caesar first started writing Hollywood movies in 1924. Most of his movies were in the B-movie category. Indeed his big Oscar-winner Manhattan Melodrama (1934) is more famous for being the film that John Dillinger had just been to see before getting gunned down outside the cinema than for any particular merits of its own.
