Faulkner's MGM Screenplays

To supplement his meager earnings as a novelist, William Faulkner worked during the 1930s and '40s as a Hollywood script writer. but did not particularly distinguish himself in that genre. However, he was a co-writer for some great movies, including TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT and THE BIG SLEEP (among several other Howard Hawks films), GUNGA DIN, and BATTLE CRY.
