John Clarence Higgins (April 28, 1908 – July 2, 1995) was a Canadian-American screenwriter.
History[edit]
During the 1930s and early 1940s, Higgins worked on mostly complex murder mystery films,[citation needed] including the Spencer Tracy film Murder Man (1935).[1] During the late 1940s, Higgins continued to pen thrillers, including semidocumentary-style films such as director Anthony Mann's He Walked By Night, Raw Deal, T-Men and Border Incident.
Higgins also wrote horror films like the Basil Rathbone starrer The Black Sleep (1956)[2] and an early Tom Selleck film, Daughters of Satan (1972).[3] Higgins also wrote the science fiction film Robinson Crusoe on Mars (1964)[4] and the adventure film Impasse (1969).[5]
