Biography
American screenwriter Morton Grant was a fixture of the Warner Bros. "B" unit in the late 1930s. Among Grant's efforts during this period was Ronald Reagan's first starring feature, Love is in the Air (1937). From 1940 to 1945, his output consisted almost exclusively of westerns. Before retiring in 1949, Morton Grant contributed to the screenplays of such family fare as Disney's Song of the South (1946) and Republic's The Big Cat (1949). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
