Sidney Carroll (May 25 1913-November 3 1988) was a film and television screenwriter. Although Carroll wrote most frequently for television he is perhaps best remembered today for writing the screenplays for The Hustler (1961) for which he was nominated for an Academy Award and for A Big Hand for the Little Lady (1966). He has also won Emmys for the documentaries The Louvre (1978) and China and the Forbidden City (1963).
