Jules Furthman (March 5, 1888 – September 22, 1966) was an American magazine and newspaper writer before working as a screenwriter. Pauline Kael once wrote that Furthman "has written about half of the most entertaining movies to come out of Hollywood (Ben Hecht wrote most of the other half.)" [1]
Furthman became one of the most prolific, and well-known, screenwriters of his time, and was responsible for the screenplays of some of Hollywood's most highly regarded films, such as Mutiny on the Bounty (1935), To Have and Have Not (1944) and Nightmare Alley (1947).

The basic idea is Humphrey Bogart plays a diffident charter boat captain in French Martinique who finds himself drawn into World War II thanks to an idealistic anti-Vichy cabal that plans to rescue a French patriot imprisoned on Devil’s Island. Everything and everybody in the film is great.
The Jules Furthman papers span the years circa 1920 to 1958 and encompass 11 linear feet. The collection consists of production files (produced and unproduced), story files, and subject files. The bulk of the material documents Furthman’s work as a screenwriter from the silent era to the late 1950s.
