description: "John Wexley was an American playwright, screenwriter, and author. He came to prominence in 1930 when his prison drama The Last Mile was a Broadway hit. He then went to Hollywood to write screenplays, including The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse, Angels with Dirty Faces, Confessions of a Nazi Spy, and Cornered. His film career was cut short by the Hollywood blacklist. In his later years, he researched and wrote about the Rosenberg espionage case."
