About Albert Maltz

Albert Maltz (1908-1985) was an American screenwriter and novelist. He was part of the Hollywood Ten, a group of filmmakers who were blacklisted for their alleged Communist ties during the 1940s. Maltz wrote screenplays for notable films such as 'Pride of the Marines' and 'This Gun for Hire'. He also contributed to the script of the Academy Award-winning film 'Casablanca'. Despite the blacklisting, Maltz continued to write under pseudonyms and later openly defended his political beliefs.
