Contact seller5-star sellerFirst Draft Continuity for the 1942 film. This is a pre-production continuity, not to be confused with a post-production continuity. The "other woman" in this early 1940s Twentieth Century-Fox programmer turns out to be Emily (Virginia Gilmore), faithful secretary to master architect Henry Summers (James Ellison). Hoping to trap… her boss into marriage, Emily begins sending "mash notes" to Henry, purportedly from a mysterious female admirer. She then coerces her old pal Ralph (Dan Duryea) to pose as her jealous Southern-fried boy friend of the nonexistent letter-writer. Poor Henry, convinced that Ralph is the gangster who's been threatening him with bodily harm, takes off for parts unknown. Our heroine spends the rest of the picture chasing Henry until he finally catches her (Hal Erickson, Rovi). From the AFI Catalog: "The working title of this film was 'Leap Year,' also the title of Lamar Trotti's original story. According to a September 4, 1941 memo in the Twentieth Century-Fox Records of the Legal Department, located at the UCLA Arts Special Collections Library, Trotti wrote the story "sometime ago" and sold it to the studio for one dollar when producer Walter Morosco decided to make it as a "low budget picture." Although the legal records indicate that Jerry Sackheim worked on a screenplay for the picture, the extent of his contribution to the completed film has not been determined.
