Lem Dobbs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lem Dobbs (born Lem Kitaj on December 24, 1959 in Oxford, England) is an American screenwriter. He is best known for the film The Limey. Dobbs' chosen name is taken from the character played by Humphrey Bogart in Treasure of the Sierra Madre. He is the son of American painter R.B. Kitaj. He has three sons: Joe, Sam, and Luke Kitaj. He is currently married to Dana Kraft.
In 1979, Dobbs wrote an original screenplay entitled Edward Ford which garnered a great deal of praise; yet, as of 2006, it remains unproduced.
From the 1980s onward, Dobbs has had a number of films based on his original screenplays: Hider in the House, The Hard Way, Kafka, and The Limey. He has also been credited as co-writer on Dark City and The Score.
Dobbs has spoken on DVD commentary tracks for the films Dark City, The Limey, and Double Indemnity (this last due to his personal friendship with late director Billy Wilder).
