Guy Trosper

This led him into a highly fertile creative period, during which he wrote the screenplays for Elvis Presley 's breakout hit '' Jailhouse Rock '' in 1957, the complex Western '' One-Eyed Jacks '' in 1961, and the thoughtful '' Birdman Of Alcatraz '' in 1962 , which he also produced.

Trosper's last screenplay before his premature death was an Adaptation of John Le Carre 's 1963 novel '' The Spy Who Came In From The Cold ''. The film was released in 1965; Trosper (posthumously) and co-writer Paul Dehn received a 1966 Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers Of America , for Best Motion Picture Screenplay.
