Andrew Peter Solt (June 7, 1916 – November 4, 1990) was a Hungarian-born Hollywood screenwriter for film and television. Born as Endre Peter Strausz, he began his career as a playwright in Budapest. Solt is best known for writing the screenplay for In a Lonely Place (1950), a critically acclaimed film noir directed by Nicholas Ray and starring Humphrey Bogart and Gloria Grahame. The film is on the Time magazine "All-Time 100 Movies" list of greatest films since 1923.[1] In 2007, it was selected for preservation by the National Film Registry[2] of the Library of Congress for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
Solt also co-wrote the screenplay for Joan of Arc (1948), collaborating with Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Maxwell Anderson. Adapted from Anderson's hit Broadway show Joan of Lorraine (1946), the production starred Ingrid Bergman and was nominated for seven Oscars and won two.[3]
