as Lily Harry Landers as Andy Glen Kramer as Ronnie Chambers Dick Crockett as The cook Background The film was based on a novella titled "Cory" by Leo Rosten, published in Cosmopolitan (1948), under the pseudonym Leonard Q. Ross. In mid-September 1955, Curtleigh Productions acquired the filming rights to Leo Rosten's short. Curtis, who was planning to star in the picture, immediately assigned Edwards to develop the screenplay and offered the job of directing it to British director Carol Reed, with whom he was filming Trapeze in France. A radio drama version of "Cory" was broadcast on August 28, 1949 as an episode of Four Star Playhouse, starring Fred MacMurray in the title role.
