1939ref. 152589Culver City CA: RKO Radio Pictures 1939. Estimating script for the 1939 film. In his 1970 biography of Nathanael West Jay Martin notes: "On June 6 1938 West was hired for his 'established' salary of $350 a week by RKO Pictures-the first of five major studios to employ him-to make a screenplay from an original story by Richard Carroll. Putting everything else aside within a week he outlined his plans for treating the material. He fretted all weekend over whether the outline would be accepted knowing that he could be out of a job again on Monday. On late Monday afternoon he was persuaded to telephone the executive producer Lee Marcus who told him to go ahead at once to the screenplay. On July 20 West finished a first draft for what would be one of his most successful films. After eight weeks in all having polished his script West was released by RKO. At this point it appeared that West had a good chance to earn a single credit for this high budget B-quality movie but the studio called in a hack writer Jerry Cady to polish West's script. After Cady's work on it proved unsatisfactory Dalton Trumbo came in to do a revision before the film went into production. Trumbo eliminated most of the revisions made by Cady restored some of West's material and made still other alterations. By this time West had returned to New York and although his secretary demanded that he ask the guild to arbitrate the credits he appeared indifferent and nearly missed getting any screen credit at all."
