John Hopkins (writer)
Hopkins made his feature film debut with the screenplay he co-wrote with director Roy Ward Baker "Two Left Feet" (1963), a lightweight comedy-drama with Michael Crawford. He received co-screenwriter credit with Richard Maibaum for the fourth James Bond film James Bond movie "Thunderball" (1965). In 1969 he co-wrote the screenplay for Leslie Thomas' boys-in-uniform comedy "The Virgin Soldiers". He worked on the script for the 1972 film adaptation of "Man of La Mancha", although he was removed from this project by United Artists when they discovered that his draft omitted most of the songs from the musical. His screenplay pitting Sherlock Holmes against Jack the Ripper, "Murder by Decree", was released in 1979, directed by Bob Clark with Christopher Plummer as Holmes and James Mason as Watson.
