John Michael Hayes was a screenwriter. In fact, just by reviewing his resume, you get the sense he was very likely a great screenwriter. He worked with Hitchcock on some of his most celebrated films and continued to work well into old age. Think about the plot turns of "To Catch A Thief" of the skillfully designed story of "Rear Window" -- you have Mr. Hayes to thank for that. And though he has left us now, we will always have his impressive body of work with which to remember him.
