Additional credits include Border Incident (1949), B-movies like Spy Hunt (1950) and The Square Jungle, and his best known works, Written on the Wind (1956) and The Tarnished Angels (1958), both collaborations with director Douglas Sirk (who also directed the 1954 film Taza, Son of Cochise, co-written by Zuckerman).[1]
