After making his screen-acting debut in 1937's Farewell Again, Vernon Harris settled into screenwriting. Harris' crowning achievement as a writer in the 1930s was the BBC radio series Band Wagon, which brought stardom to comedian Arthur Askey and which was transferred to the screen in 1939. Forsaking comedy for drama in the 1950s, Harris worked on such "A"-level war films as The Sea Shall Not Have Them (1953) and Carve Her Name with Pride (1958). In 1968, Vernon Harris shared an Academy Award nomination for Oliver!
