The Writers Guild of America has righted one of the lingering wrongs of the McCarthy era, restoring a screenplay credit to blacklisted writer Dalton Trumbo for his 1953 romantic comedy Roman Holiday, nearly 60 years after it was released. Trumbo was one of the most tragic figures of the Hollywood Ten, sentenced to nearly a year in federal prison for refusing to name names before the House Un-American Activities Committee and he and his family spending a decade living in exile in Mexico while earning a living writing under fake names or using fronts. One of those fronts, Ian McLellan Hunter, lent his name to Roman Holiday as co-writer, passing a share of the profits to Trumbo and even accepting a Best Screenplay Oscar alongside fellow co-writer John Dighton.
