Monte L. Merrick (October 6, 1949 - March 24, 2015) was a screenwriter, playwright and novelist most notable for his long career in theatre and his feature film screenplays, including 1990's Memphis Belle.
"My plays are always rooted in reality with real characters because that's what I'm interested in," Merrick told the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle in 1984. "It's not social issues. It's human values and human relationships."
