American screenwriter John C. Higgins specialized in complex murder mysteries during the 1930s and 1940s. Higgins' credits include Murder Man (1935), which served as the feature-film debut of James Stewart, and Kid Glove Killer (1942), director Fred Zinnemann's first full-length effort. During the postwar era, he penned several location-filmed, fact-based crime melodramas, among them He Walked by Night (1947) and Border Incident (1949). John C. Higgins' screen output also embraced horror films (The Black Sleep, 1956) and science fiction (Robinson Crusoe on Mars, 1964).
