Brother of writer Matt Taylor.
Not to be confused with Broadway playwright (and later screenwriter) Samuel A. Taylor (1912-2000).
Taylor's 1929 film 'The Taming of the Shrew' (starring Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford) originally credited the production as written 'by William Shakespeare, with additional dialogue by Sam Taylor'. It appears, that the film was rather quickly taken out of circulation and the credits revised.
