In 1940 Lester Cowan, an independent film producer, bought F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story, ``Babylon Revisited and Other Stories'' for $80, which was a bargain. Fitzgerald thought his screenwriting days were over and with some hesitation accepted Cowan's offer to write the screenplay titled ``Cosmopolitan'' based on the short story. After finishing the screenplay, Scott was told by Cowan that he would not do the film unless Shirley Temple starred in the lead of the youngster Honoria.
