You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.95.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 08:49, 2 November 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Harry Kurnitz''' (January 5, 1908 &ndash; March 18, 1968) was an American playwright, novelist, and prolific screenwriter who wrote [[swashbuckler]]s for [[Errol Flynn]] and comedies for [[Danny Kaye]]. He also wrote some mystery fiction under the name '''Marco Page'''.

==Early years==
Kurnitz grew up in [[Philadelphia]] and attended the [[University of Pennsylvania]]. He entered journalism as a book and music reviewer for ''[[The Philadelphia Record]]'' in 1930. In his spare time he wrote mystery fiction as Marco Page.<ref>((cite book |first=Guy M. |last=Townsend |title=Page, Marco |editor-first=Lesley |editor-last=Henderson |work=Twentieth-century crime and mystery writers |publisher=St James Press |year=1991 |page=827 |isbn=978-15-58620-31-5))</ref>

==Writing career==
A mystery story Kurnitz wrote in 1937, ''[[Fast Company (1938 film)|Fast Company]]'', about skulduggery in the rare-book business, led him to Hollywood. [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer]] bought the book, and Kurnitz wrote the screenplay. Kurnitz wrote more than forty movie scripts, among them ''[[Witness for the Prosecution (1957 film)|Witness for the Prosecution]]''; ''[[What Next, Corporal Hargrove?]]''; and ''[[How to Steal a Million]]''.

His first play was ''Reclining Figure'', a 1954 comedy about painters and their patrons and the tricks of the dealers and collectors who prey on them. Later, Kurnitz wrote the hit comedy ''[[Once More, with Feeling!]]''. Other plays included ''High Fidelity'' and ''[[The Girl Who Came to Supper]]'', a musical he wrote with [[Noël Coward]], who composed the music and lyrics.

==Death==
On March 18, 1968, Kurnitz died of a [[Myocardial infarction|heart attack]]. At the time of his death he was working on a detective story.<ref>((cite news |title=Harry Kurnitz, Playwright, Dies; Also Wrote Many Movie Scripts |newspaper=New York Times |date=March 20, 1968 |page=47))</ref>
