Samuel Ornitz was an American screenwriter and novelist from New York City; he was one of the "Hollywood Ten" who were blacklisted from the 1950s on by movie studio bosses after his appearance before the House Un-American Activities Committee when he was held in contempt of Congress for refusing to testify. In his later years, he wrote novels, including "Bride of the Sabbath" (1951), which became a bestseller.
