The Hook (screenplay)
''The Hook'' is an unproduced screenplay by American playwright, Arthur Miller. It was written in 1947 and was intended to be produced by Columbia Pictures Studio, Hollywood, and to be directed by Elia Kazan. The screenplay was inspired by the true story of Pietro ‘Pete’ Panto, a young dockworker who stood up against the corrupt Mafia-connected union leadership. Panto was discovered dead in a pit outside New York eighteen months after his disappearance. Set in the Red Hook district of Brooklyn, ''The Hook'' is the story of Marty Ferrara, a longshoreman who is ‘ready to lay down his life, if need be, to secure one thing – his sense of personal dignity.’〔Miller, A (1949) 'Tragedy and the Common Man'.〕
==History==
Kazan and Miller travelled to Los Angeles to pitch the screenplay to Harry Cohn, the notoriously controlling head of production at Columbia Pictures. Marilyn Monroe posed as Kazan’s personal assistant by way of a practical joke. (This is referred to in both Miller's〔Miller, A. (1987) ''Timebends'', pp.304-8〕 and Kazan's〔Kazan, E. (1988) ''A Life'', pp.410-14〕 autobiographies.) Cohn insisted Miller meet Roy Brewer, Hollywood’s most powerful union leader, who pushed him to portray union corruption as couched in Communism. Cohn insisted that Kazan get Miller to change the screenplay. Miller eventually withdrew the script. He returned home to a telegram from Cohn: 'ITS INTERESTING HOW THE MINUTE WE TRY TO MAKE THE SCRIPT PRO-AMERICAN YOU PULL OUT.' 〔Miller, A. (1987) ''Timebends'', p.308.〕 Within three years, Kazan was in front of the HUAC, naming eight former colleagues as Communists. Miller was called in 1956, convicted of contempt of court and cleared two years later.
