British playwright (b. Aug. 28, 1916, Hankou, China—d. Dec. 17, 2002, New York, N.Y.), wrote only three plays, but two of them met with enormous success. Seven London producers rejected his first, Dial M for Murder, before the BBC agreed to televise it (1952); it went on to a 552-performance run in the West End, production in 30 countries over the following five years, and a 1954 film version directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Knott's last play, Wait Until Dark (1966), ran for 11 months on Broadway and two years in London and was filmed in 1967.
