which he has contracted to pro-
duce. Its only unexplained detail
is where Sherwood got the money to
buy the story, hire the actors, rent
the sound stage, etc.
He didn't say anything about that,
and it is such a delicate subject to
bring up between bites Of omelet.
Before it comes up for review,
there is one thing that one wishes
Columbia had not done in connec-
ton with the picture, namely to de-
wise the credit list to read 1.-The Rob-
ert Sherwood Production" There
is no question about its being
Robert Sherwood production, but 1t
allows such a margin for error in
confusing Robert G. with Robert E.
Sherwood. With the later being so
much the better known, there is
likely to be confusion.
If it is too late to change the
credit list of the present picture
(Which it isn'D. one cannot help
hoping that the next one will be
labeled quite clearly Produced by
Robert c. Sherwood"
1t is a suggestion made without
prejudice to the new Sherwood-at
least not fractionally so much as
prejudice in favor Of the older one

ton to produce movies from the time
I laid my childish eyes on The
Phantom of the Opera I tried the
stage, including the King in Hamlet
in a West Coast stock company. I
tried radio. I announced, I directed,
I did everything But nothing could
divert me from the yearning to be-
come movie producer. I even tried
playing the oboe in a symphony
orchestra.
When it developed that there was
no escape from making movies, a
simple thing occurred to me. I
didn't want to be an actor, nor
director, so the logical thing seemed
to be to buy story that could be
turned into a movie with me as its
producer"
Sherwood, therefore, proceeded to
wrap his lanky form (Which is sew
eral inches less lanky than that of
Robert E. Sherwood around a chair
and scrutinize fiction in all forms
and of every time. Eventually, there
came to his attention Charles Bon
ner's novel Legacy" Quite as If
he we're the story department of a
movie studio, instead of just q chap
who felt all tied in knots because
he was net movie maker, Sherwood
bought the story.
With that accomplished, he began
to think of cast and director, and
stuff Ingrid Bergman, he thought,
would be just the actress for the
major role; Warner Baxter as the
Adam who had four sons.
To get in touch with Miss Berg
man, he called the SelZnick Agency.
1t went a step further and suggested
that there was also available for
mer Powers model, Susan Hayward,
who would make a very fine player
for the wanton little wench which
the story called for. Miss Hayward
had been tested, the Selznick off1ce
said, for Scarlet OHara and II 1t
had not been for Vivien Leigh she
might have won.
Sherwood thanked the Selznick
Office and said he would like to see
that test, only to discover that 1t
had been thrown away. He tested
her anew, however, and found him
self in complete agreement as to her
ability to look and act the part OF
the bad, bad girl.
With Miss Bergman and Miss Hay
ward signed up, he thought on tc
the point of director, who seemed
logically to be Gregory Ratoff be-
cause he had directed Miss Berg
mans first American picture. Mr.
Ratoff said he would like the assign.
ment and that was that. All thai
remained was for Sherwood to &C
over to Columbia Studio and sci
it the idea of renting him sounc
stage, some cameras and othel
equipment.
That was the Sherwood methot
which produced Adam Had Foul

method of his next three picture
