Did Ransom Riggs and Herbert Selpin both work in the film industry ?
Herbert Selpin Herbert Selpin (29 May 1904 – 1 August 1942) was a German film director and screenwriter of light entertainment during the 1930s and 1940s.

He was later found dead in his prison cell.
Nevada Smith Nevada Smith is a 1966 American Western film directed by Henry Hathaway and starring Steve McQueen. The film was made by Embassy Pictures and Solar Productions, in association with and released by Paramount Pictures. The movie was a prequel to the Harold Robbins novel "The Carpetbaggers", which had been made into a highly successful film two years earlier, with Alan Ladd playing McQueen's part as an older man. "Nevada Smith" depicts Smith's first meeting with another "Carpetbaggers" character, Jonas Cord Sr., but the two films' stories are otherwise unrelated.
