He did not write BM he adapted it to a screen play
that’s correct
and i think that the focus on BM in his life-work is a bit out of balance, and too much emphasized
that said, he did win an academy award, so it’s a “major” work in that sense....part of his life-work. i just don’t like the greatness of his work to be overshadowed by it....and I’m saddened that too many conservatives are too focused on that. especially when so much of his writing and indeed his life (not all of it....just the parts I approve of :)) are profoundly conservative and culture-building
