Out of the Past Build My Gallows High Original screenplay for the 1947 film James M. Cain draft
Culver City CA: RKO Radio Pictures 1946. Estimating script for the 1947 film dated April 3 1946. James M. Cain's ultimately uncredited rewrite of Geoffrey Homes' early draft based on Homes' 1946 novel "Build My Gallows High" which was at that time still unpublished. <br/><br/>A rare script which confirms a claim still listed as unsubstantiated by the AFI Catalog which notes: "The working title of this film was Build My Gallows High. In September 1945 RKO outbid Warner Bros. for the rights to Geoffrey Homes' . unpublished novel according to a Los Angeles Times article. . Modern sources also claim that James M. Cain rewrote Homes' script with Frank Fenton. Fenton is credited as a contributing writer by SAB but Cain's contribution has not been confirmed by contemporary sources."<br/><br/>Ultimately sole credit for the script went to Homes who would make a permanent switch from novels to screenplays after the success of the film later under his real name Daniel Mainwaring. Cain would also spend many years in Hollywood though he only received screenwriting credits on two films "Stand Up and Fight" 1939 and "Gypsy Wildcat" 1944. <br/><br/>A former private detective lives a quiet life in a small town until his past catches up with him forcing him to return to the world of crime.
