Edmond Seward (26 September 1906 – 12 February 1954) was a Hollywood screenwriter who had originally attended Northwestern University and worked as a journalist, before doing some writing for Disney.
[1] During the mid-1930s he was brought out to Australia by director Ken G. Hall, to write movies and train Australian screenwriters for Cinesound Productions.
[5] He soon returned to Hollywood, with Hall claiming the writer "had not been a bell-ringing success".
[6] Hall thought Seward may have been responsible for plagiarising the end of Thoroughbred from the Frank Capra film, Broadway Bill (1934).
[7] Seward later worked for Screen Gems and wrote a number of scripts for The Bowery Boys.
