Oscar Millard

Oscar Millard (March 1, 1908 – December 7, 1990) was an English writer who published two books set in Belgium before finding success in Hollywood as a screenwriter. In 1936 Millard published a biography of Adolphe Max, who had been mayor of Brussels during the First World War and had been imprisoned for refusing to cooperate with the occupying forces. He followed this in 1937 with a novel inspired by the clandestine wartime newspaper La Libre Belgique, entitled Uncensored. In 1942, this was adapted for the screen as Uncensored, with Terence Rattigan as the main scriptwriter. The setting was updated to the contemporary German occupation of Belgium during World War II.
