WGA Restores Dalton Trumbo's Roman Holiday Screenwriting Credit

It took 60 years, but The Writers Guild of America, West has decided to restore Dalton Trumbo’s screenwriting credit for the 1953 film Roman Holiday. Trumbo was one of ten filmmakers who refused to testify House Un-American Activities Committee in 1947. He was cited for contempt along with the other “Hollywood 10” and spent 11 months in prison. When he was released, he was put on the infamous Hollywood blacklist. Trumbo wrote the screenplay for Roman Holiday, but sold the script through his friend Ian McLellan Hunter.
