Red Planet Mars

The main credit goes to John L. Balderston, 1889 through 1954, American playwright and screenwriter.

He'd previously worked on screenplays for '31's Dracula and Frankenstein, and he'd go on to work on Bride in '35, Mad Love in '35, Dracula's Daughter in '36, and would ultimately work on 1944's Gaslight, and then much later in his life and career, uh, he worked on Red Planet Mars in '52 that s- and that starred Peter Graves.

Yeah.

So like you were saying, the script went through many incarnations.

Across my dreams, with nets of wonder, I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love.
