塞缪尔·泰勒（Samuel A. Taylor，1912 年 6 月 13 日 - 2000 年 5 月 26 日）是美国剧作家和编剧。

泰勒出生于伊利诺伊州芝加哥的一个犹太家庭，泰勒于 1950 年作为戏剧《快乐时光》的作者首次亮相百老汇。他于 1953 年创作了剧本《萨布丽娜·费尔》，并于次年共同编写了电影改编。1955年，他获得了金球奖，并获得了奥斯卡剧本奖提名。他早期的成功为他在好莱坞带来了更多的工作，包括 1956 年的传记电影《埃迪·杜钦的故事》和 1958 年的阿尔弗雷德·希区柯克经典电影《眩晕》。

在《眩晕》最初的票房失败后，他的电影生涯逐渐消退，尽管希区柯克和泰勒仍然经常合作。泰勒为希区柯克 1969 年的电影《黄玉》撰写了剧本。他经常被签约为希区柯克的其他电影写草稿，比如《撕裂的窗帘》，尽管《黄玉》是泰勒在《眩晕》之后唯一一部由泰勒执笔的剧本。

泰勒在 1962 年被提名为他唯一的托尼奖，作为戏剧《无弦》的联合制片人，他还为此写了这本书。其他编剧作品包括《阿凡提！（1968 年）和传奇 （1976 年）。

泰勒死于缅因州蓝山的心力衰竭。他的作品有时会与小说家和编剧塞缪尔·泰勒（Samuel W. Taylor）的作品相混淆。

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Samuel A. Taylor (June 13, 1912 – May 26, 2000) was an American playwright and screenwriter.

Born Samuel Albert Tanenbaum, in a Jewish family, in Chicago, Illinois, Taylor made his Broadway debut as author of the play The Happy Time in 1950. He wrote the play Sabrina Fair in 1953 and co-wrote its film adaptation the following year. In 1955, he won a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Academy Award for the screenplay. His early success brought him more work in Hollywood, including the 1956 biographical film The Eddy Duchin Story and the Alfred Hitchcock classic Vertigo in 1958.

His film career faded after the initial box office failure of Vertigo, though Hitchcock and Taylor remained frequent collaborators. Taylor wrote the screenplay for Hitchcock's 1969 film Topaz. He was often contracted to write drafts for Hitchcock's other films, such as Torn Curtain, though Topaz was the only Taylor-penned screenplay to be produced after Vertigo.

Taylor was nominated for his only Tony Award in 1962 as co-producer of the play No Strings, for which he also wrote the book. Other playwrighting credits include Avanti! (1968) and Legend (1976).

Taylor died of heart failure in Blue Hill, Maine. His credits are sometimes confused with those of novelist and screenwriter Samuel W. Taylor.
