===Films=== In addition to journalism and novels, several of his novels{{which|date=July 2017}} were adapted for films by other writers. Kantor was credited as writing the [[screenplay]] for ''[[Gun Crazy]]'' (a.k.a. ''Deadly Is the Female)'' (1950), a ''[[film noir]]''. It was based on his short story by the same name, published February 3, 1940, in ''[[The Saturday Evening Post]]''. However, in 1992, it was revealed that [[Dalton Trumbo]] had written the ''Gun Crazy'' screenplay,<ref name=Apostolou/> as Trumbo, one of the [[Hollywood Ten]], had been blacklisted as a result of his refusal to testify before the [[House Un-American Activities Committee]] (HUAC) hearings. Kantor passed his payment on to Trumbo to help him survive. Kantor acted in the film ''[[Wind Across the Everglades]]'' (1958). The film ''[[Follow Me, Boys!]]'' (1966) was based on his novel ''God and My Country''.
