Abraham Polonsky was an American film director, screenwriter, essayist and novelist. He was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for Body and Soul but in the early 1950s was blacklisted by the Hollywood movie studios, after refusing to testify at congressional hearings of the House Un-American Activities Committee, in the midst of the McCarthy era. Polonsky also served as a secret agent with the Office Strategic Services during World War II, where he worked with the French Resistance to write scripts and direct programs for the clandestine OSS radio stations.
