Dick short story at Paramount. He was responsible for hiring many of his old friends and colleagues in journalism, such as Ben Hecht, worldly and wise-cracking men, many of whom, like Mankiewicz himself, had seen active service either as soldiers, or reporters, or both during the First World War. And in addition to all these veterans of both war and writing, Herman also hired his younger brother, Joseph. Unlike his older and at the time far more celebrated brother, Joseph L.

Too young to fight in or write about Word War I, he almost certainly idolized his older and extremely successful brother, who had done both and miraculously survived both. It was at this point — roughly about — that the fortunes of the two Mankiewicz brothers first began to diverge, at first very gradually but then, over time, with increasing speed and even ferocity.

Indeed, so slow was their eventual reversal of fortune that initially it would have been almost imperceptible. For most of the s, Herman continued to be right at the top of the tree in Hollywood, or as near to the top of the tree as a mere writer could be. Mankiewicz, through his own writing and his hiring of similarly like-minded i. By contrast, Joseph L. Mankiewicz enjoyed a successful if not absolutely stellar s, at least in comparison with his older brother, whose influence on the decade was seminal.

He soon moved on from writing subtitles or intertitles to writing screenplays himself, although, exactly like Herman, he often went uncredited. However, unlike his older brother, who was a writer right down to his ink-stained fingertips, having begun in journalism and public relations before moving to Hollywood, Joseph seemed to have realized reasonably early on that the real power in Hollywood resided not with those who wrote the films but with those who produced and directed them.

Consequently, unlike Herman, who never directed a film and never seemed to have any ambition to do so , Joseph, while continuing to write, also began increasingly to move behind the camera, to take overall artistic and financial control of the films that he was writing.

By the end of the s, more than a decade after they had both arrived in Los Angeles, the fortunes of the Mankiewicz brothers were beginning to grow apart more visibly. He was now more in demand as a producer than as a writer, and produced some of the biggest American films, and hits, of the late s and early s, including The Philadelphia Story , whose script he also allegedly contributed to, and Woman of the Year , in which he paired Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn on screen for the first time.

Mankiewicz suddenly found it a little difficult, for the first time ever, to find work as a scriptwriter. Three decades later, in her famous essay, Raising Kane , Pauline Kael would argue that Mankiewicz was the major or even sole author of the screenplay, something that an indignant Welles always denied.

Exquisitely framed in a nest of flowers, it rests on a miniature altar in the center of the table of honor. It has been spared the sensational and commercial publicity that attends such questionable "honors" as the Pulitzer Prize and those awards presented annually by the film society We do not hear what he says. Being an actor - he will go on speaking for some time. It is not important that you hear what he says.
