Roger MacDougall (2 August 1910, Glasgow – 27 May 1993) was a Scottish playwright, screenwriter and director.MacDougall began writing the occasional screenplay in the late 30s, working both alone and in collaboration with others. Most of his plays were produced during the 50s. As a screenwriter, his best-known films are The Man in the White Suit (for which he received a 1952 Academy Award nomination) and The Mouse That Roared. He was a cousin of Alexander Mackendrick.During the 1950s he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis which eventually resulted in significant disability. Through disillusionment with orthodox medical treatments at the time, he developed a diet, loosely based on a paleolithic diet, that apparently returned him to good health and sustained remission. Following this experience, he published a pamphlet describing his diet intended to help other patients to achieve similar results. This diet produced positive results in other patients, though success was not universal.

2Scottish playwright, who first entered films as a composer, later moved to Ealing, notably as screenwriter of "The Man in the White Suit" (1952 Oscar nomination) and "The Gentle Gunman", based on his own plays. In the 1940's, also wrote and directed documentaries for his own company Merlin.
