The screenplay by Ben Hecht became the focus of a contentious history behind the production, and led to the film's eventual suppression by Hope. Hecht had been part of the screenwriting team on the similarly themed Comrade X (1940). ## Credits - **Director:** [Ralph Thomas](https://cinepixo.com/people/ralph-thomas) - **Screenplay:** [Ben Hecht](https://cinepixo.com/people/ben-hecht), [Harry Saltzman](https://cinepixo.com/people/harry-saltzman) - **Producer:** [Harry Saltzman](https://cinepixo.com/people/harry-saltzman), [Betty Box](https://cinepixo.com/people/betty-box) - **Original Music Composer:** [Benjamin Frankel](https://cinepixo.com/people/benjamin-frankel) - **Director of Photography:** [Ernest Steward](https://cinepixo.com/people/ernest-steward) - **Editor:** [Frederick Wilson](https://cinepixo.com/people/frederick-wilson) ## Cast - [Bob Hope](https://cinepixo.com/people/bob-hope) - [James Robertson Justice](https://cinepixo.com/people/james-robertson-justice) - [Robert Helpmann](https://cinepixo.com/people/robert-helpmann) - [Richard Wattis](https://cinepixo.com/people/richard-wattis) - [Katharine Hepburn](https://cinepixo.com/people/katharine-hepburn) - [David Kossoff](https://cinepixo.com/people/david-kossoff) ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
