Marking 50 years since the death of playwright-author-screenwriter
R. C. Sherriff (1896–1975), the R.C. Sherriff Trust is
celebrating his work this year and is publicizing various events (such as film festivals). Sherriff might be best known for his World War I play
Journey's End (1928), but his oeuvre includes the screenplay for
The Invisible Man (dir. James Whale, 1933), the screenplay for the film noir
Odd Man Out (dir. Carol Reed, 1947), and the murder mystery plays
Home at Seven (aka
Murder on Monday, 1950; film, dir. Ralph Richardson, 1952) and
A Shred of Evidence (1960).
