Timeline

1911

Robert Adrian Scott (February 6, 1911 – December 25, 1972) was an American screenwriter and film producer.

He was one of the Hollywood Ten and later blacklisted by the Hollywood movie studio bosses.

Scott was born in Arlington, New Jersey, the son of successful Irish Catholic parents — his father worked in middle management for the New York Telephone Company.

Arlington was one of the centers of the American textile industry, a key site in the history of industrial capitalism and a hotbed of radical labor agitation.

1913

Arlington is 12 miles south of Paterson, where the 1913 strike of 25,000 silk workers brought together socialists, Wobblies, and Greenwich Village intellectuals.

1926

In 1926, when Scott was 15, 20,000 textile workers in nearby Passaic, New Jersey, closed down the mills.

1933

Scott's older brother Allan was a playwright (and later screenwriter), whose comedy Goodbye Again ran on Broadway for most of 1933.

Adrian's college yearbook in Amherst College described him: "Hat cocked back at a rakish angle, cigar in the corner of his mouth, his fingers playing nimbly over the typewriter keys, the inimitable R.A.L. Scott."

1934

Scott graduated from Amherst in 1934.

1936

He was a film critic and associate editor of Stage magazine from 1936 through 1938.

1939

1943

Scott wrote Mr. Lucky (1943) at RKO, which was a hit.

RKO signed Scott to work as a producer.

1944

His first credit in that capacity was My Pal Wolf (1944).

He went on to produce Murder, My Sweet (1944), an adaptation of Farewell My Lovely by Raymond Chandler by John Paxton that was directed by Edward Dmytryk.

It was a critical and commercial success.

The cast included Dick Powell, who revitalized his career in the role of Philip Marlowe, and Anne Shirley, whom Scott married.

Scott joined the Communist Party USA in 1944.

1945

, Scott, Dmytryk, Powell, and Paxton reunited on Cornered (1945).

He is credited on the script for Miss Susie Slagle's (1946) at Paramount.

1947

Dmytryk, Paxton, and he reunited on So Well Remembered (1947) shot in England.

More successful was Crossfire (1947), another collaboration among the three men.

Crossfire was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture and was a popular success.

In October 1947, Scott was called to testify during the House Committee on Un-American Activities hearings on Hollywood, but as did nine others, refused to testify.

RKO fired him on October 29, 1947, for refusing to answer questions.

For the first year of the blacklist, he returned to journalism, contributing to the London journal Cine-Technician.

1948

Scott produced The Boy with Green Hair (1948), directed by Joseph Losey, which was a box-office flop.
