Title: John Grant (screenwriter)
Content:  During the second Red Scare, Costello became convinced that there was a communist conspiracy to infiltrate the film industry. He demanded that his employees sign a loyalty oath swearing that they had no Communist ties. Grant refused to sign and Costello fired him in 1951. Grant, who was never blacklisted, did not work on their film Lost in Alaska (1952), but did work on the films Double Crossbones (1951) with Donald O'Connor, Ma and Pa Kettle at the Fair (1951), and Sailor Beware with Martin and Lewis. Costello felt that the script for Lost in Alaska suffered because of Grant's absence and rehired him for Abbott and Costello Meet Captain Kidd (1952) and subsequent films. Grant's later screenplay credits include Abbott and Costello Go to Mars (1953); Abbott and Costello Meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1953); Abbott and Costello Meet the Keystone Kops (1955); and Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy (1955). Grant was credited on a film originally written for Abbott and Costello, Fireman Save My Child (1954), which was made with Hugh O'Brian and Buddy Hackett when Costello became ill.
