http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/17271408

Papers of a novelist, playwright, screenwriter, and member of the Hollywood Ten, who was investigated by HUAC and subsequently blacklisted. Work with the Theatre Union during the Depression is well documented and includes scripts, publicity, and occasional correspondence for produced and unproduced titles by Maltz and others. Screenplays include drafts of produced and unproduced works, although there is little on Maltz's work during the blacklist years. Included are "Destination Tokyo" (Warner Bros., 1943), "Pride of the Marines" (Warner Bros., 1945), and "The Robe" (20th Century-Fox, 1953). Pertaining to the Hollywood Ten are correspondence and notes on meetings, and legal and public relations materials for the group as a whole and for Maltz's trial and request for parole. The remainder consists of published interviews, book reviews, speeches, statements to the press concerning the blacklist and its effect on him, and speeches and articles by Maltz's first wife, Margaret Larkin.
