- Additional Crew

- Writer
Hungarian-born Endre Bohem received his education at the University of
Budapest and at the Sorbonne in Paris, France. He emigrated to the US
in 1921, attended New York's Columbia University, then made his way to
Hollywood, where he worked as a screenwriter on several silent films.
Although he was employed as an assistant to Columbia Pictures head
Harry Cohn, Bohem wrote pictures for a variety of studios, including MGM
and Republic, before accepting a job in the MGM short-subjects
department as a producer and writer. Leaving MGM to produce feature
films at Paramount, Bohem was responsible for such quirky fare as
Alias Nick Beal (1949). He was one of the earliest Hollywood writers to detour to
television, where he worked as a writer and producer on several shows
beginning in 1952, but kept his hand in features, writing such films as
Bengazi (1955). In 1959 he joined the company of the Clint Eastwood western series
Rawhide (1959) as a story consultant and eventually moved up to executive
producer. He continued to work in both films and television until his
retirement.
