Angus MacPhail(1903-1962)
- Writer

- Producer
London-born Angus MacPhail worked as a screenwriter for many years with
producer Michael Balcon, but he wrote for
many of Britain's most prestigious studios, such as Gainsborugh,
Gaumont-British and Ealing. He is probably best known for his script
for the classic British feature
Dead of Night (1945), but also
worked for Alfred Hitchcock,
writing The Wrong Man (1956).
MacPhail had a reputation as one of the British film industry's best
collaborators and "script doctors", and in fact of his 23 scripts for
Ealing Studios, he had sole credit on only one.
