Alan Sharp, who began his writing career as a novelist before becoming a screenwriter "whose brand of dark, lyrical and densely plotted work, including the screenplay for Arthur Penn's Night Moves, made him a critically admired if largely unknown figure in Hollywood," died last Friday, the New York Times reported.
