		Philip Yordan has written or produced and disributed some of the most notable films of all time.
		Yordan's vast experience in the movie making industry includes writing, producing and distrubution as well as operating a film studio in Spain and being an entertainment attorney.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: The Harder They Fall
		There is something of a fl-comic mystery in Philip Yordan's involvement with 1956's The Harder They Fall.
		But back to the script: As it was written during the fllist era, it's easy to read the film as being pro-snitching (Bogey's character is naming names by telling the truth), but this comes from writer and producer Philip Yordan, who's probably the most famous "front" of that era.
		As many fllisted writers had no source of income, sometimes they would find a schlep to be used as a "front" to get work (with the front getting the screen credit and a sum of their fee).
