Note that this play was loosely based on the classic movie "Twentieth Century", but that movie had an unusual origin! That classic 1934 Howard Hawks film had been loosely based on the original 1932 play of the same name by Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur, and Hecht's and MacArthur's play had itself been loosely based on Charles Bruce Millholland's unproduced play about his experiences working for theater producer David Belasco, called "Napoleon of Broadway". The producers of this play used portions of all three sources to create their play! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
