Guy Trosper

Guy Trosper

Guy Trosper (1911 – 1963) was an American screenwriter. He came to prominence in Hollywood thanks to his scripts for two baseball movies: "The Stratton Story" in 1949, a big hit for James Stewart, and "The Pride of St. Louis" in 1952, for which he received an Academy Award nomination.

This led him into a highly fertile creative period, during which he wrote the screenplays for Elvis Presley's breakout hit "Jailhouse Rock" in 1957, the complex western "One-Eyed Jacks" in 1961, and the thoughtful "Birdman of Alcatraz" in 1962, which he also produced.

Trosper's last screenplay before his premature death was an adaptation of John le Carré's 1963 novel "The Spy Who Came in from the Cold". The film was released in 1965; Trosper (posthumously) and co-writer Paul Dehn received a 1966 Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America, for Best Motion Picture Screenplay.
