A Book Review Essay by Tony Williams.

Thanks to one of my connections, I was able to see all of the episodes of the TV series Naked City (1957- 1963), 32 of the 39 episodes of the first season penned by legendary scenarist Stirling Silliphant (1918-1996). He was also Academy Award winner of In the Heat of the Night (1967), as well as contributing to Route 66 (1960-1964) in addition to other films and series too numerous to mention. The subtitle of this book is not accidental. Silliphant’s abilities as a prolific writer of produced and non-produced work easily matched others in the literary field such as Michael Moorcock (1939 – ) who also wrote under their own forms of divine inspiration as well as the economic necessity of appeasing creditors.

Detroit-born Stirling Silliphant (born Sterling Dale Silliphant) was the son of a Canadian immigrant. The family moved to California when he was about two. He grew up in Glendale and graduated from the University of Southern California in 1938. During World War II he was an army lieutenant, and after his discharge in 1946 he got a job with the Walt Disney Studios in the Publicity Department. Shortly afterward he relocated to New York City to take a job as Publicity Director for 20th Century-Fox. In 1953 he moved back to Hollywood with the goal of becoming a writer/producer, and managed to obtain financing for his first film project, The Joe Louis Story (1953), a project he produced but did not write.
