Timeline

1916

Alan Surgal (November 12, 1916 – January 3, 2017) was an American screenwriter best known for penning the screenplay for the 1965 surrealistic dramatic film, Mickey One, which was directed by Arthur Penn and starred Warren Beatty.

Surgal was born in 1916 in Chicago, Illinois, and attended the University of Chicago.

He was stationed in London as a writer for the Armed Forces Network and Yank during World War II.

Surgal worked as a writer for the BBC during the war.

He then moved to New York City following the end of World War II, where he wrote scripts for radio (and co-creating the radio show, This Is the Underground), before transitioning to television scripts.

While the film, which was released during a New York newspaper strike, initially flopped at the box office, Mickey One is now considered a cult classic, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Director Martin Scorsese later supervised the restoration of the film by the UCLA Film and Television Archive.
