He is best known for co-authoring the story for The Music Man (1957), together with collaborator Meredith Willson,[1] and later collaborating on the screenplay with Marion Hargrove for the 1962 film version. One of his first major works was the play Pagan in the Parlor in 1949; it was directed for the stage by Frankenstein director James Whale.
