unwritten littletitle Ann as: Mary Lee Norris Columbia / 1944 Directed by: Herman Rotsten Tom Neal Ann and Tom Neal re-team in their third Columbia feature to fight Nazis hiding in America during WW II. This is the most romantic pairing of Ann and Tom. Fighting Nazis together gave them a common bond and their most conventional screen relationship. <span class="annquote">“This was a smooth shoot. Tom was still pulling his pranks – trying to get me to blow my lines during takes, making faces off camera, all that, but the meanness was gone. I thought the story angle was unique – Nazi POWs in the US plotting a takeover – but the result was pure propaganda with a few kisses thrown in to drive kids to the snack bar.”</span> Ann was nearing the end of her run at Columbia Pictures. <span class="annquote">“The writing was on the wall during <span class="synital">Unwritten Code</span>. I knew I was about to go freelance. I loved Columbia and felt bad when my option wasn’t renewed, but I was already getting offers which paid far better.” </span> unwritten_01.jpg unwritten_03.jpg unwritten_05.jpg unwritten_07.jpg unwritten_06.jpg
