Hecht later stated that he worked with director Frank Tuttle during his days at Paramount. Though no evidence has been found, it is likely that the film he was referring to was "The Big Broadcast", starring Bing Crosby, Stuart Erwin, Leila Hyams and George Burns. "The Big Broadcast" was produced by Benjamin Glazer, who had written "A Bedtime Story", and featured music by Ralph Rainger, who had also worked on "A Bedtime Story" and "International House", as well as Hecht's play, "Hullaballoo".
