[2][3] During the 1970s and 1980s Robert Boris wrote or co-wrote various original or adapted screenplays and dialogues, either for TV or feature films, including Birds of Prey, Electra Glide in Blue (whose script was noted for its fatalism[4]) and Some Kind of Hero, directed by Michael Pressman.
“I really wanted to do it as if it was Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn in Bringing Up Baby, and the film ended up as a low-rent Marx Brothers comedy,” lamented Boris.
Sure enough, as production proceeded over the summer of 1982, it became difficult to describe anything about Doctor Detroit as sophisticated or highbrow.In 1983 Boris wrote the screenplay of the 4-part serialised film Blood Feud, focusing on the power struggle between Robert F. Kennedy and James R.
The uneven performances suggested a lack of coverage.He is also the director of Steele Justice,[9] Buy & Cell, Frank and Jesse,[10] and Backyard Dogs.
[14] Boris won the WGA Award for Original/Adapted Multi-Part Long Form Series for Blood Feud in 1984.
