Carl Foreman Facts
A brilliant writer who was a victim of the McCarthyite "Red Scare" in the 1950s and was blacklisted in Hollywood for his alleged Communist sympathies. Reinstated in October 1997 along with other blacklisted victims--a bit too late for him, as he died in 1984.

Wrote the original draft of the Marlon Brando motorcycle film, The Wild One (1953). The script fell afoul of the Breen Office censors--supposedly because it sought to explain the motorcyclists' sense of frustration instead of just portraying them as crazed, violent outlaws--and was re-written, to Brando's bitter disappointment.

His son, Jonathan Foreman, was an editorial writer and senior film critic for the New York Post, before relocating to his London birthplace to work for the Daily Mail.
