Howard E. Koch was an American playwright and screenwriter who was blacklisted by the Hollywood film studio as presumed Communists. Koch moved his wife, Anne (an accomplished writer in her own right) and their family to the UK with other blacklisted writers, where they wrote for five years for film and television (British television series The Adventures of Robin Hood among them) under the pseudonyms 'Peter Howard' and 'Anne Rodney'. In 1956, they returned to the USA and with help from high-profile lawyer Ed Williams cleared his name from the blacklist
