The Writers Guild of America has corrected the screen credits of 14 additional films to indicate that they were actually written or co-written by writers who were blacklisted in the 1950s and early '60s. Half of the lot were written by Dalton Trumbo, who died in 1976. Among the films was the 1956 film The Boss credited to writer Ben Perry, who frequently fronted for Trumbo. Another film appearing on Thursday's list, Terror in a Texas Town (1958), was originally written by two other blacklisted writers, John Howard Lawson and Mitch Lindemann, but rewritten by Trumbo when the producer, Walter Seltzer, rejected the initial script. Other writers who will receive credit for films produced during the blacklist era include Carl Foreman, Bernard Gordon, Paul Jarrico, Ring Lardner Jr., Hugo Butler, Cyril Endfeld and Ben Barzman. Only Lardner and Gordon are still alive. »
