Cornell Woolrich

Cornell Woolrich (1903-68) was one of the most admired and influential of all 20th century American crime writers. His work inspired many films, including most famously The Leopard Man , Phantom Lady , Rear Window , The Bride Wore Black , Mississippi Mermaid and Union City . He led a strange and often very unhappy life, latterly as a recluse in a Manhattan hotel.
