He established himself as a playwright after the war and, between 1948 and 1954, lived in Hollywood, where he wrote scripts for MGM. On his return to Britain, he successfully adapted several C.P. Snow novelsand, in 1967, William Clark's novel ''Number 10''for the stage.〔Kavanagh, Denis, "Sir Ronald Millar", ''The Independent'', Financial Times Ltd., 1996 (ISSN 0951-9467).〕 He also wrote the book and lyrics for the musical Robert and Elizabeth.
