Philip S. Goodman, a film, television and stage writer and director, passed away at his residence here.

Goodman, who wrote episodes of the 1950s and 1960s TV shows such as "Profiles in Courage", "Alfred Hitchcock Presents", and "Johnny Staccato", died on Saturday, reports variety.com.

He directed the 1963 feature "We Shall Return", which centered on anti-Castro Cuban fighters in Miami and starred Cesar Romero.
