Carl Foreman

Carl Foreman (July 23, 1914 – June 26, 1984) was an American screenwriter, film producer, and director. He was one of the screenwriters who were blacklisted in Hollywood in the 1950s because of their suspected communist sympathy or membership in the Communist Party, and subsequently relocated to the United Kingdom. He was nominated for six Academy Awards (five for writing and one for producing), and posthumously received Best Adapted Screenplay for his work on The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957). Foreman was also nominated for two BAFTA Awards for Best British Screenplay, and a Golden Globe Award for his work on High Noon (1952).
