Oscar Millard

Oscar Millard (March 1, 1908 – December 7, 1990) was an English writer who published two books set in Belgium before finding success in Hollywood as a screenwriter.

In 1936 Millard published a biography of Adolphe Max, who had been mayor of Brussels during the First World War and had been imprisoned for refusing to cooperate with the occupying forces.

[3] Millard's output after that was less successful though interesting: the James Stewart thriller No Highway in the Sky (1951) and Otto Preminger's full-guns-blazing femme fatale movie Angel Face (1952).

Millard's reputation was considerably tarnished after writing the John Wayne-Susan Hayward barbarian epic The Conqueror (1956).

[4] After that, Millard found consistent work on television, writing scripts for such shows as Wagon Train, The Alfred Hitchcock Hour for which his was awarded in 2013 by the Writers Guild of America (101 Best written TV Series) and Twelve O'Clock High.
